Considering a Return to School
One of the reception mums just asked on our Facebook group who's going to be back in school on Monday. Only a few replies so far but most are staying home still, including small boy. Considerations There are lots of reasons for us, some selfish and others more community spirited. For starters, trying to take… Continue reading Considering a Return to School

Gratitude

Donc, s'il vous plait, soyez gentilles avec tous les fautes qui suivent. Il y a 6 mois, j'étais à Paris pour mon boulot et… Continue reading Ma deuxième langue: 2ème étape
Imagining the end of lockdown
The lovely Bill over at A Silly Place invited me, amongst others, to write about what that first weekend after the end of quarantine or lockdown will be like for us. You can find his post on the subject here. The thing is that himself and I were discussing UK plans to lighten the lockdown… Continue reading Imagining the end of lockdown
Accident prone
I'm sure I'm not the only one whose kids have accident-filled weeks. We experience this from time to time, usually when they're growing or poorly.
