Time at this time of year seems to move more quickly than during the rest of the year. There are only 6 school weeks until Christmas break and we have the small matter of my first observations at work and a third birthday to prepare for before then. I always want to relish autumn but… Continue reading 6 Weeks

Work Eat Sleep
Today has been one of those days where it's non-stop. A long day at work including a three hour open evening (in which I talked to two of my year 11s and realised they actually like my subject and me as their teacher - a revelation!) has been followed by a fantastic dinner out with… Continue reading Work Eat Sleep
Half Term Hijinx
Tonight we attended Lina's first bonfire display which has capped off an incredibly fun half-term week including her first trick or treating adventure, a visit to a farm, baking with Grandma a hair cut for all of us and playing in leaves (one of her own requests for the week). The fireworks at Warwick Racecourse… Continue reading Half Term Hijinx
Mission Accomplished
I have just been on a boat on the Norfolk Broads with Mum, Dad and Lina for a couple of days so I am sitting at the computer swaying slightly but feeling pretty good about the face that I managed to post a picture every single day in July using the Fat Mum Slim prompts.I won't… Continue reading Mission Accomplished
Black and White
We are in Blackpool to celebrate my brother's 40th birthday. It's been a blast. See my Instagram for more pics.

I am getting so, so excited for our holiday in Cape Cod (and other bits of Massachusetts). We have just 22 days to go and we are starting to firm up our plans. I might even have to create an itinerary. I do love an itinerary.

I miss writing and am looking forward to writing as much as possible over the summer. Yesterday, we returned from a week in Bognor Regis with ricardo's family. It… Continue reading Back for the Summer
5 Reasons to be Happy
Today is my last day teaching for the summer. My Year 10 group wrote me some messages in their goodbye card and a couple of goodies. We are picking up our new car tonight. Beyond excited for this. Tomorrow, I will be seeing my lovely PGCE buddies who have played a major role in keeping… Continue reading 5 Reasons to be Happy
As You Like It
Yesterday, Rich and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary (which was actually on Friday but Dad's birthday trumped our anniversary so we celebrated that instead on Friday night!). We spent the day in Stratford-upon-Avon and went to see As You Like It at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=qpEqv7DAPV4 It blew us away. The music, the… Continue reading As You Like It
Bird for the Soul
http://instagram.com/p/XGHKsEzfAv/ When time is so precious and work is talking over, it is very easy to stop doing the things that you love but that are not essential to your day-to-day life. For me, crafting has always been something that I love but not something that I need. So it has been something I have… Continue reading Bird for the Soul
