I am over the moon because homeschooling is finished for us, for now. Imagine being a homeschooler all the time!! I'd be banging my head against a wall, I am sure of that. Who knows what is happening in August, the messages from schools and council are mixed... I went to the yarn shop, too, and the teeny tiny garden shop (a florist that sells garden plants). Exiting times. I haven't ventured out to the local bookshop yet but will take the young ones tomorrow for a wee holiday book or two. I quite like being in my little bubble, not quite ready to venture out too much. Have a lovely week xxChristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11883091348839145603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235841642149423068.post-52503139041983340262020-07-05T23:19:29.989+01:002020-07-05T23:19:29.989+01:00I wish we could boast loads of cherries but we do ...I wish we could boast loads of cherries but we do have lots of baby birds.<br /><br />Watching PE videos now that would have been the sort of P\E I would have liked as both a pupil and a teacherSue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235841642149423068.post-67665811579819539082020-07-05T21:37:53.510+01:002020-07-05T21:37:53.510+01:00Homeschooling was a bit of as struggle for us, as ...Homeschooling was a bit of as struggle for us, as well. I literally had to stand over my daughter to make sure everything was completed. We may be doing homeschool again in the fall and I'm not sure how I feel about that, yet I know it is the safest option. I miss bookstores too, and I'll be happy when things return to somewhat normal again at some point in time. Hope you have a good week!Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15744965298240817861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235841642149423068.post-61037527179156859792020-07-05T18:52:42.502+01:002020-07-05T18:52:42.502+01:00Hang on in there with the home schooling, only a s...Hang on in there with the home schooling, only a short time until the holidays . I’m sure the boys are absorbing more than you realise. Similar fruit stealing here. I share the logans with the blackbirds. Like the sound of those cherry trees.<br />Did you buy any wool? Looking forward to seeing a work in progress. Must be odd to have empty streets. We seem to have returned to near normal although opening up the borders has already created one person arriving testing positive so I guess the whole of their plane has to go into isolation for 14 days. Some holiday!

What a brilliant combination!!<br /><br />We went to a nearby touristy sort of town the other day and immediately came home again. The streets were bulging with people and the shops were PACKED. Horrifying. Especially as it was eleventy billion degrees Celsius and, I'm sure, a breeding ground for microbes...warm, humid air etc etc. We'll be staying closer to home from this point onwards. (I only wanted to go to the bookshop and we assumed it wouldn't be busy)<br /><br />I'm thrilled by the vision of your berries and birds...#goals. I can imagine you've created a wonderful sanctuary for the wild things in your garden. xomelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07984286138124792000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235841642149423068.post-18560154670344723612020-07-05T13:24:30.118+01:002020-07-05T13:24:30.118+01:00Lovely post and pictures which had me smiling as u...Lovely post and pictures which had me smiling as usual.

I do admire you for having to home-school 3 boys. I don't think I would be able to do that. All I taught my kids was adventure. We were always taking off to the beach or to a swimming hole. I need to make some potato salad and baked beans but the dog is asleep on my lap and I'm averse to rousting her. Dayle is making honey mustard baked chicken thighs that we saw Giada make on the Food Network this morning. It's our first 4th of July with no parade or family here for a BBQ. ::pout:: ((hugs)), Teresa :-) Teresa Kasnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06228404538876664577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235841642149423068.post-40671741713733233702020-07-04T22:35:50.238+01:002020-07-04T22:35:50.238+01:00A wool and houseplant shop sound like paradise, ma...A wool and houseplant shop sound like paradise, maybe they could add books and tea and I will move in and never leave. Good luck with the online home schooling, thank God it is over for us for a bit. Stay safe.

I did 2 years of German at school and the only words I can remember are birthday cake and fried potatoes - I suppose at least I wouldn't starve! Even if your son doesn't want to be a chef or a concert pianist, he'll have 2 relaxing hobbies to fall back on when life gets tough. I really wanted a photo of the loo roll owls and I have a sudden craving for cherry pie! xxVeggieMummyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17467026136649574350noreply@blogger.com
