In a bun dance

If I'm going to get something, I usually get it in spades - luck (both kinds), children, clutter, dirty laundry, bright ideas, daft ideas...

Thoughts on the end of home learning (fingers crossed)

March 6, 2021 By Ellen

Back to school – real, actual, muddy knees, bell going school – next week. I have never been keener for a Monday morning scurry. And neither has Boy Three.

April 25, 2020 By Ellen

If reports are to be believed (which is by no means a certainty) we are over the hump, the curve, the whatever, and we’re thinking about how we get out of this thing. It might be weeks, days, or months, but eventually, we’ll burst our weird stay-at-home bubbles and go back to join the world. […]
