art, literature and chocolate…
chocolate sneaks in everywhere here… so will start blog post with it. After going to see the naked people at the art gallery (well worth seeing, wow, the newborn baby, the scared wild man… they speak of human vunerability somehow despite the size) popped into the new health food shop in Aberdeen to find that [...]

rabbits, cliffs, cushions and steamed chocolate pudding :)
Always together these two rabbits. They live under the rhoddies in the front garden. Gothic House on cliffs, sea must be so loud from there! There has been some sewing and knitting occurring Bracken sent us a great variation on our chocolate cake recipe, turning it into a steamed choccie pud with [...]
just when you worry that the world is mad…
…with stories of a dinner lady sacked for telling the truth about bullying (I can vouch for such an act being akin to this, though stoning is done with tongues and a twisting of the truth these days in this country) and two policewomen being prevented from looking after each others children by Ofsted… Worry [...]

cake and wood

Well, first he painted the outside of the house – can highly recommend Ecos paints, never using nasty chemically things again after the experience of Daniel’s doors last winter which the joiners painted with something akin to toxic waste. Then, oh look the [...]

spend less
Been sent this fab book for review on Frugal Living and had to give it a mention here too as it has a home education related tip Daniel spotted it on leafing through. “tip 248: Over 100,000 families already school their children at home. You have a legal right to opt to teach your children yourself, [...]
seasonal and busy
not exactly festive but I took these pics in St. Nicholas churchyard the other day and I like them Went to the panto at HMT – outside, beforehand: We sat in a box – was amazed to discover that it was almost the same price as the stalls would have been for all of us. [...]
