This is a site we used quite a bit back at the more curriculified beginning of home education – a quick blog search reveals the first mention of it almost exactly 5 years ago!

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. [...]

cirque and sushi

By Lucy | Published September 25, 2008

Went to the open day at the Sheriff Court last weekend – most fascinating… I had seen some of it when I did jury duty but they showed us a lot more including the cells, witness rooms, the prisoner route all the way to and including the van. Was fun to sit in the advocates chair [...]

finally getting round to a few things

By Lucy | Published July 30, 2008

such as: looking at energy comparisons and have switched using uSwitch’s Energy Price Comparison Calculator (edit in: see frugal.org.uk for current equivalents of this), a lot easier than I thought, they do all the switch over stuff  - there are still some companies offering fixed tarriffs though some have been pulled today… preparations for the long [...]

So can I remember what weve been doing… not really… there’s been swimming, walking, biking, eating lovely food  aplenty… One most memorable thing – we went to see Much Ado About Nothing performed by the wonderful Illyria - hilarious as usual :D Sadly there were less than half the number of people in the audience as last [...]

macbeth

By admin | Published September 7, 2006

Fire burn, and cauldron bubble… and then the actor said, “your teachers do this in the staffroom before you get to school each morning” and I felt a fit of the giggles come on which stayed with me through the whole performance. This afternoon we went to this play and the kids old school were [...]

well it’s as good a quote as any! Been a busy couple of days – Davie has a long weekend so is not feeling left out of our activities. He’s putting up the tent again just now as the weather has improved again – seeing how fast he can put up the awful beds right now :) [...]

when shall we three meet again?

By admin | Published July 5, 2006

In thunder, lightening or in rain? Quite likely up here at any time though luckily it stayed dry but misty. Last night we went to see an open air performance of Macbeth by the wonderfully cheeky Illyria at Haddo House – to say we all enjoyed it is an understatement. The actors were extremely good – was particularly impressed [...]
