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.

Finding the time ...
.... to blog is becoming increasingly difficult lately! We are still here, still working hard and getting lots done - I just don't seem to have the time to get it all written up!
I'm still working on the shop website and really hope to get that done soon so that I can start transferring all my materials from Lulu to the new site. It's just a case of Tim being off work and NOT doing anything else so that he can help me with it.
We've also been doing plenty of lovely outdoor things, in particular tending our little vegetable plot - we're in the process of thinning out the carrots at the moment because they're growing like wildfire!
Rosie and I have also been having a rethink about her "out of homeschool" activities - she's very, very keen to work in wildlife/conservation when she's older so she's decided she wants to star doing things to work towards that. Consequently we've put her name down for the Young Rangers at Moors Valley - they take them from 13 years so she'll start in September. It'll be a wonderful step in the right direction for her :)
There has been plenty of "academic" work going on too (so much that I haven't taken photos of yet!) - here are just a couple of things they did this morning.
April working with a homemade lacing card - I just drew simple shapes onto card, cut them out and punched holes round them. She's using a piece of string sellotaped to a cocktail stick to thread through the holes. Excellent for hand/eye coordination.
Rosie (or Rosie's hand!) doing a coordinates activity
That's all for now - I will (honestly!) get round to photographing a load of their recent work soon and putting it up here!
