Fun Education at Glasto!
Glasto Education The time of the year has arrived again; where we pack up our bags, do as much food shopping as we can and head out to Glastonbury Festival with our wellies in tow….just incase. This is an important time of year for us, as it’s a big family event. Grandma Doo runs things,…

Chickens
Chicken Science Who said that chickens can’t teach?! One thing I have missed since having child No. 4 is our smallholding. The satisfaction of growing almost all of our food is seriously lacking these last few years due to many unforeseen factors. Environmental Science Every element of keeping animals becomes not just an opportunity; but…

Hound Tor and Medieval Settlement
Hound Tor and Medieval Settlement Hound Tor We rounded off our trip to Dartmoor by heading out to Hound Tor as I’d seen it listed on the map as a Medieval Settlement; which of course piqued my interest – although I’ll get to that shortly! The first thing we noticed as we drove up to…

Lydford Gorge Waterfall and more…
Dartmoor…. We started out the second leg of our trip at Lydford Gorge thanks to a blurry, almost irretrievable memory of my father taking me there when I was very young. In my mind it was miles and miles of gruelling hiking, and then the most magical waterfall I’d ever seen. I don’t think any…

Breaktime from van adventures

Eggardon Hillfort and back to school stressbusting!
Hillforts and hiccups. And thus the actual first day back at school arrives, complete with a morning of stomach aches, sore throats and tears; and then eventually getting out of the door just in time. After school we decided to go for a last minute jolly up to Eggardon Hillfort. It’s one of our favourite…

Malory towers, May fairs, Cake cost maths and the chance for a FREE download!
Malory Towers and May fairs. Now I’m incapable of watching TV without also doing something else; so I set myself to some work on the laptop while we powered through a good amount of Malory Towers this morning; making the most of sick day number 2. I was never into Enid Blyton as a kid,…

The first day NOT back to school and spider seedlings!
Back to school….or not! Tuesday. 5am. The first day back to school…. and the girls start the day by puking. A lot. Now by the schools own rules -they can’t go back for another two days from the time they stop vomiting. Sick day While idling the morning away to OKGO! videos, I overheard the…
