After dropping Jenson off at school, Wren and I called into Primrose Vale Farm Shop.

Wren and I have begun this week in true creative fashion: breakfasting in the sunshine at the Curious Cafe on the Bath Road while doing a spot of still life painting.

It's been a busy old week one way or another. Jenson was feeling off colour on Monday and Tuesday so it was nice to have him around to enjoy some of the craft activities I had lined up for Wren.

Today was all about strawberries, sunshine and lots of sparkling smiles. It's only been three days, but the joy I get from spending time in her company, listening to her stories and playing her games is really very, very special.

After a weekend of snow filled fun, we woke up Monday morning to find one of our rabbits had died. 

This week marks the start of Jenson's tutor sessions. He wasn't overly impressed about the idea at first, but when I told him it was either this or school he chose this! 

This last week has been a rather bitty one. On Monday and Tuesday Jenson had his usual tutoring sessions, for which we spent a good deal of time Monday morning doing a lovely project about The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

Jenson's love of Blue Planet continues and this week his fascination with the natural world manifested itself in a LEGO blue whale.

This LEGO clock was another little project we did this week. Jenson chose the activity and had fun finding the parts and working out how they all fitted together. 

Difficult personal circumstances have proven a bit of a blow to home schooling these past few weeks.

As well as doing our bit for conservation, this week we've also been busy making cards out of all the flowers we pressed a month or two ago.

Inspired by the fruit bat stick skeleton he made last week at Crickley Hill, Jenson's new found love of bats has continued.

One way or another we've had a pretty quiet week. Sometimes you have to roll with what life throws at you and just carry on best you can.

We had barely finished our pop up books before the children were getting ready for the next project.

Our super story telling themed week has been so much fun. The children have really enjoyed all the projects I've given them.
