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weekly with pictures and projects from our homeschool - maybe you can find something to inspire you :) I have a (no longer updated) materials page elsewhere on my website and will, occasionally, post my homemade materials in this blog.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

Just because ....

..... it's the Autumn Equinox - my favourite time of the year, beautiful, special. So here is a little something I made (cute!) - and a poem I love.

 

Hope you have a gorgeous, happy autumn day :)

AUTUMN EQUINOX

~By Heather Shackleton~

Web flash morning -

Poised and bobbing on Arachne’s thread,

Nimbly spin your myth of sloe-eyed beauty,

lush and bramble-sweet.

Drop your orchard fruits on rain-greened grass,

Laid to rest in scattered languor,

Bruised and wasp-wreathed in succulent decay.

Show me napped-facet field flints,

Ancient past imagining, yet sharp as first frost.

Tempt me with low sun warmth, hop and berry,

colour wash.

Take me and turn me in your slow waltz,

Your circle dance,

Your sinking cycle spiral...
