Staycation Island Diaries: Week 4

This post is mainly photos and diary entries to look back upon later... no deep thinking here...

Day 22 - Friday, 3rd April

Starting Week 4! Time to sort out the garden a bit.

Day 23 - Saturday, 4th April

Used the gorgeous weather do to a bit of chalk art in the front of the house, and science experiments in the garden.

Day 24 - Sunday, 5th April

It's Sunday, Palm Sunday, although we failed to make any palms to hang on our door.... N(5) did at least colour in a picture and we watched the story on TV. The church met on Zoom, Mr. is building a new shed, we made handprints and then we went out for our daily walk into the nature reserve behind the house. Which is now carpeted with bluebells!

Day 25 - Monday, 6th April

Monday, only two more working days to go for Mr before his holiday starts! We managed to call the grandparents, break the newly made hand print plaque and I went shopping with my stylish new accessory.

Day 26 - Tuesday, 7th April

This is actually getting better with time as I'm learning to relax and lean into it... some really special, beautiful times of connecting with the kids today - building pillow forts, hanging out in the hammock. And then when Mr finished work I craved some alone time so he took them out for a scoot. Beautiful day.

Day 27 - Wednesday, 8th April

WE DID IT!!! Mr. has now finished work and is on holiday for the next two weeks - a new era in our staycation is here, hurray! And the kids had no idea that he was in the house all the time... So today we did a bit of writing practice, made a crucifix from pipe cleaners, played in the sunshine and indoors, and made banana bread. I'm also pleased to see my little wildflower patch starting to sprout some tiny leaves.

Day 28 - Thursday, 9th April

Apart from it being Maundy Thursday when we washed their feet in the evening, we had lots of fun on a beautiful warm day. Games, gardening, ice lollies and even the paddling pool came out!

Holy Week: washing the children's feet

And in a few days we'll be able to boast at having been at home for a whole month!

Back to meat after 20 years vegan - 4 years on

Back in 2020, I briefly mentioned in another blog post that we were no longer vegan. I said that shift deserved its own blog post, but here we are at the end of 2024 and I never wrote that. Not that I intended to leave it this long, but it really did take me this long to truly digest the change (pardon the pun) and get enough distance from my previous world view that I could write about it. Paradigm shifts like that don't come quickly, or easily. I've had a few major paradigm shifts in my life - from atheist to Christian , and later to Catholicism - and it's a disorienting thing every time. It starts with the proverbial 'pebble in the shoe' (something niggling that gets harder and harder to ignore) and takes time to even go from subconscious to conscious mind, to a time of discovery and 'why didn't I see this before??', and finally a bewildering sense how I could possibly have thought the old way because I'm now wearing all-new lenses on life. The ...

Thrown into to a new reality, then back to the old

Towards the end of August this year, Mr. and I suddenly faced a very different future to the one we had envisioned: at 42 years old - and he's 55 - I found myself pregnant again. Camping after our summer trip - and I've just found out I'm pregnant As it's been seven years since D(7) was born, we really didn't expect that. We would have loved more kids soon after D, but I just never got pregnant. Seven years on, we were pretty convinced that this was our lot. Two beautiful children, we really can't complain! So we needed a bit of time to digest that. A new baby, with siblings 8 and nearly 10 years older! And Mr. would be 75 when that child was 20... the maths was mind boggling. But hey - if that was our new reality, we were going to run with it! The kids certainly were excited about it, they're old enough to understand and yes, we told them; this is a family matter. I knew there was a chance this pregnancy wouldn't work out, but we felt they had a right t...

Home Ed Questions: what about socialisation?

Last week, a reporter and cameraman from the BBC visited our house to do a feature about home education. It was great fun, a real adventure for the kids to be interviewed! The team spent 90 minutes at our house, but of course they had to condense that down to a couple of minutes for the feature, and sadly the kids' interviews didn't make the cut. (A transcript article of the feature is here ) I had put my hand up for doing this because the reporter had every intention to make this a positive piece on home education, and so it was; the premise was to try and answer why there had been such an uptick in home education in the past few years. They interviewed two mothers, probably strategically chosen: me as the one who always wanted to home educate, and the other mum as someone who felt she had to due to her son's needs. They interviewed me at length, and of course only a few seconds of that made it to the screen, but inevitably it was the part to do with social skills that th...
