NOTICE ON PICS - All pics on this blog (unless otherwise stated) are my personal work. DO NOT take pics from this blog without seeking my permission first! Bless you.

Welcome to my blog. It is updated weekly with pictures and projects from our homeschool - maybe you can find something to inspire you :) I have a (no longer updated) materials page elsewhere on my website and will, occasionally, post my homemade materials in this blog.

I'm married to Tim (delivery driver and gorgeous musician), have 2 daughters, live on the south coast of the UK and have 1 aging cat (Hemmingway or Hemmy for short). I love reading, yoga, crafts, baking, daft old comedies, music and teaching.

On this page you can find my homeschool blog, if you want to read my general, day-to-day blog, click the link below :)

NOTE ON PICTURES: This shouldn't be necessary but I have, sadly, noticed growing cases. Please DO NOT link directly to pictures on this website - it steals my bandwidth and is BAD! I CAN trace you if you do and I will take action.

Be afraid, be VERY afraid

Rosie's turn to make a silly movie this time. First a little background information (if only to explain the sheer bizarreness of it!) In this house we hate aubergines (disgusting, sludgy things) - we hate them so much that Rosie invented The Killer Aubergines! These are, apparently, a bunch of maniac aubergines that come from the Purple Planet and force us earthlings to eat nothing but aubergines for all eternity.

Anyway, having seen my film she decided to make the Killer Aubergine movie so off we went and brought one of these vile vegetables specifically so that she could stick googly eyes and stuff on it and set up some scenery and take photos. She then set it to weirdy music, added the sci-fi special effects and hey-presto! Done!

There are no captions so here is the basic story. Killer Aubergines arrive in their (very small) spaceship and a battle starts (cue odd green lighting and "flashes"). They chase the poor (stick) earthlings trying to round them up in their spaceship to begin the process of force-feeding them with aubergines (I'm slightly confused at this point - I guess they must be sacrificing some of their own kind?!!) Anyhow, the earth people are having none of this and produce a frying pan and threaten, presumably, to sauté the aubergines into submission. The defeated aubergines turn around and run back to their spaceship and fly off, never to be seen again. The end. I laughed and laughed when I saw it :)

Two things before you watch:

1. Yes, we did waste an entire aubergine for this - shocking!
2. Yes, we are a bit odd sometimes.

Just click here to play!

Oh, and I've changed my own family photo movie to a link rather than having it embedded because it kept playing automatically and driving me mad!
