I won’t detail them but I may have nightmares about the strange plants the kids chose and that are now growing in their [...]

By admin | Published October 3, 2007

… sorry, pitiful attempt at clever title…  Played musical pairs with the snap – goes perfectly with our current piano practice :) Equate in the sun yesterday - lovely weather continues (colder today though).

By admin | Published August 21, 2007

Schools here go back today – can feel that atmosphere in the air.

Love autumn though – there’s a kind [...]
