Vienna, week 5: Reunion & fun times

Mr. has arrived!! Finally. We were so excited to see him, and his journey this time was completely smooth and on time. We picked him up from the train station, had the biggest hugs ever, got him back home, and the kids haven't left his side since! We had great fun the rest of the week. It's so good to be together again.

However, at the beginning of the week we had a few days to wait before Wednesday. The weather wasn't brilliant, so we went to the museum of public transport Remise, a modern art museum where we got to make our own piece of artwork, and to the brilliant adventure playground.

A real U-Bahn cockpit!

U-Bahn driving simulation - D(6) loved that!

LOADS of snails were out because it was wet, so we had a snail race!

... some last minute enhancements to one part of it

The day after daddy arrived, he had to look after them by himself because I was working - but the weather was fine again so they just went to the water and had a fun day there.

We had found a game I played as a child in a charity shop!
That's what we filled our evening with, that first full day together.

Now Mr. is here we get to do all the fun stuff I've been putting off - first up, Prater! With my mum's best friend Erich, we all enjoyed a very hot day out with lots of fun rides. We went on the oldest ride that's still in family ownership, built in 1903, thinking it looked rather tame and simple, perfect for the kids - oh my goodness were we wrong! That thing had some speed, we had to hold on for dear life! Great fun though.

I love this family pic!

On the big wheel - Mr. somehow didn't feel like going on it. Heights?

We're in this picture - spot us!

Not so tame!

Better hold on!

Finally, a day in the centre (where I failed to take any pics of us sightseeing!) that ended at an ice cream cafe. Of course.

So good to be together again.

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...
