Life and Home Ed are still muddling along nicely, but in a nothing really to talk about way.
Liz’s Saturday morning orchestra has finished for the term so on Saturday we all had a good sleep in, the first one I’ve had for a really long time, and a lazy day. Sunday saw us visiting Grandma’s house, she has some family friends visiting, so we all had a good day socialising. Half way through the afternoon some other family friends turned up, but unfortunately we were in the middle of tea and they wouldn’t stay. I hadn’t seen them for nearly twenty years so I was very disappointed, we are now planning a visit to take Grandma to visit them one day over the summer. It’s always an interesting journey, with lots to see. This time there were herons and deer to spot, and a vintage fire engine (last week we were following three vintage racing cars). On the way home the road was flooded in places – which added some entertainment to the journey.
Yesterday we did bits during the morning… music and art work mainly, then went to the Home Ed group in the afternoon. It was another interesting journey, we came a cross a large military helicopter (apache?) hovering above the road. So we drove up a hill towards it hovering at the top, then drove under it – a very strange experience. We then had a good discussion about a foreign lorry driver who (a) didn’t know where he was going, and (b) thought it was OK to stop at each roundabout exit while he decided whether or not to take it. The group was good, although the children’s usual friends weren’t around. Liz was quite lost at first, but then joined in anyway.
We returned from that journey (it is a 60 mile round trip) to eat a quick tea, before heading out 10 miles in the other direction to take Liz and Tom to their music lessons.
