Living in the North of Scotland, vegan, home educating, dancing, cake eating, writing, woodland walking... no set subject matter here really though :)
The more ancient archives are the old home ed diary starting in June 2005 and evolving on from there.

seeds and scones
Had a most industrious day – planted up seed trays with aubergine, sage, lettuce, rocket, brocolli and chilli pepper seeds - greenhouse has expanded our repetoire, more to come yet :) randomly: the greenhouse has other, lazier uses too interesting shelf constructed by Davie out of parts of the kids old beds… and as you can see [...]
pud
Different recipe again – a no-cook one, can be seen here. Rather pleased with the pic too. Meanwhile the world progressed… Dan really likes the numbered method of this type of puzzle and has done most of it himself. He found the year in Roman numerals on it and research showed it to be 1676. [...]
gorgeous glasgow
food: Well we started off as we meant to go on at the 13th note - amazing food, loved the fact that the things that were not vegan were the ones marked with at V – made a nice change that this was spotted on Cat’s shelves ooh, Cat made fab ice cream sundaes Daniel declared [...]
cake again
So Dan and Charlotte have been unloading washing machines and hanging laundry out, cleaning and baking a bit less aided than usual – they’re so pleased to have me as a mother sometimes, I can tell ;) Other than that weve all been reading lots out in the sun I’ve finished another one of these – may [...]
ladybird
Couldn’t help myself in the end – I had to make something seasonal. Recipe very similar to this except I used spelt flour. Not exactly going out like a lamb then – it’s really cold. We saw our first ladybird a couple of days ago in the woods though – look very hard in the [...]
knitted digestion
Yes it was delicious, decorated with Whizzers mini eggs and some soya cream – this is Davie’s bit, I was very good and had a small piece. It’s been another quiet day. Walked Toby, kids did a little blogging and Charlotte and I made a chocolate tofu cheesecake which she then wrote up in her [...]
Cat’s cakes
Catriona arrived this morning bearing chocolate – amazing cupcakes (hope she didn’t feel obliged by my hints in diary!), a chocolate Christmas tree and frogs… mmm… Had a fairly brief trip to the Lighthouse Museum in Fraserburgh as they were closing so we didn’t get a trip up the lighthouse – was quite fun anyway. [...]
creations of a cakely nature
Some things we came home to: two exciting postcards from the group, one from Japan and one from Antartica from this man. He’s got some fabulous pictures up there. Were going to send him back one of Brodie Castle. Charlotte has done a page on Antartica and Daniel did Japan. Our wall map is getting [...]

friends and mince pies
Had unexpected visitors today who have not seen for a while. Very nice time catching up with all our news. We supported each other through some tough times in the last couple of years and it was good to see we are both in happier places now. Poor Lynda was made to sit and listen [...]
