The first day of the summer holidays was a weird vibe. Exhaustion combined with the usual anticlimax meant that all of us were out of sorts one way or another. Add Covid in the house into the mix and the disruption from the garage conversion currently underway and it was not the blissful peace that… Continue reading False Start
Friday just gone was Evelina's last Friday at Primary School. After seven years of being in her little one class entry school, always being the oldest in the school (the school opened with her class so now she is in Year 6, the school is full for the first time), having a lovely group of… Continue reading Beginning of an Ending
Harper and I took advantage of the cooler evening to go for a longer walk this evening. The skies were on point.
Cooking on the barbeque in the summer and having just grilled meat with salad for most of our meals is the best. I know this is true. I am not cut out to be a primary teacher. Spending a couple of hours with some Year One age children (i.e. Austin's age) whilst I chaperoned at… Continue reading I Know This is True

Our garden is quickly looking like a child might live here: trampoline, sandpit, playhouse, swing seat and paddling pool.

I am very excited that in just a month and a bit, we will be flying over the pond to visit our American family in Massachusetts to celebrate my auntie and uncle's 50th wedding anniversary. We are staying on Cape Cod, an area we have never… Continue reading Red, White [and] Blue
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
