Resurrection of The Blog, Demolition of The House!

Ok, ok, it’s been a while between posts…. I have been busy working and planning our new house and generally being busy with other things.  So I’ve decided to resurrect the old blog to capture and document the progress of building our new house.

End-of-Year Fun and My Bookclub!

The school term has ended and summer holidays have begun – if someone could just tell the weather to sort itself out!  We’ve been busy this week with end-of-year parties, a lovely sing-a-long with one class, and a delightful whole school Christmas play on Monday.  Now the house is covered with a year’s worth of … Continue reading →

Bits and bobs
