I was asked recently to write a blog post for Streams focusing on community with particular reference to how this developed as we wrote “Another Way to Learn?”. For those of you who read this regularly, you’ll have got a feel for how ideas flew and and friendships grew during our collaboration, so I won’t… Continue reading Another Way to Learn?

Summer Sundae 4 – August 2022
I love the family picture above, drawn by Dancing Toes. The respective heights of the boys dates it; Rhythm Dude is our gentle giant and towers over us all, closely followed by Lanky Dude and both HWH and myself now look up to our boys.

An exciting new book for Home Educators- April 2022
The above photo, artistically curated by Dancing Toes, has a special significance for me. It’s taken at The Bishop’s Palace in Wells, a place much cherished by me over many seasons of my mothering. When our children were young, I would watch them play happily and imaginatively while snatching a few moments to read quietly.… Continue reading An exciting new book for Home Educators- April 2022
