Shame on me!

Phil is very good at remembering to take pictures to put on his blog, my camera seems to spend a lot of time in the clutches of Julia as she is finishing her video task for her silver Arts Award. Once that is completed our weekly routine of going to Dartington every thursday will be a thing of the past. She has her first public exam in October-O Level RE, this is another new stage on our home-ed journey. In my planning folder I have a calendar of the next two academic years printed out. When you see it on paper it doesn't look very long! After the O level
we are planning for six IGCSEs-lots of work ahead of us! Just got to get Regatta out of the way first!

Never Not Knitting Song

This is such a funny song! I'm not sure I'm that bad!

Yarn Along(again)

 I am joining in with Ginny's Yarn Along,
 I am reading 'The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks' by Rebecca Skloot  and knitting 'Pomander' by Martin Storey in RYC Cotton Jeans Ravelry.This one's for me!

Pointy Elf Hat completed

You can tell that Julia loves posing for me! Anyway, the hat has turned out very nicely and I think Julia likes it so that is all that matters!

Yarn Along

           Forgot to link to
                                                      Ginny at Small Things
                                                                                           for the Yarn Along- knitting and reading, great!
This only my second go at the Yarn Along but I'm going to try and be more consistent!
I am re-reading Philip Yancey's 'Soul Survivor', a very interesting book. And I am knitting a Pointy Elf Hat  (from More Last Minute Knitted Gifts) in Collinette Point 5 in Morello Mash for Julia.

Home education ?

What kind of science experiment is this you might ask? Maybe not science but very definitely an experiment- to apply newsprint to fingernails! Quite a novel effect!

Sleepover at Grandma and Grandad's

Sophia survived two nights being left to stay with us. We had a great time and I think she enjoyed the novelty of different surroundings. We had a walk by the river in Totnes but our plans to swim in the outdoor pool were scuppered by the weather.
