In England we don’t get Chickadee’s, so I was wondering how we were going to pull this one out the bag for our Outdoor Hour Challenge with Barb. Of course I could have found any other bird to do a study on but decided to rather dig a bit deeper into the Chickadee thing with …
This week my husband is on leave. We decided to take full advantage and explore our surrounds. I am so very excited to share this particular trip with you. Can you guess where we are… Another clue perhaps? Yes! We took a drive up to Windermere Lake, and among other things, visited Ambleside, home of …
Well, here we are in November. I swear I don’t know how time passes me by so quickly! We are only weeks away from Christmas and I have only just started with my list planning and gift making. In fact, life seems full of bustle at the moment, so it is lovely to take this …

Here are plans for September: Nature: hedgerows full of ripe blackberries blustery winds Autumn Equinox (21) shortening days …
Victorian Schoolroom at Shugborough Hall Well, ‘school’ is just about upon us – in fact we started back this week. Gently of course. I like to ease the girls (an myself) back into the swing of things. This new academic year sees some changes in our choices of resources, so I’m sure it will take …
