Walking to school


The walk to school in the morning is getting darker each day....but the snow bounces any available light so that really helps!



As a complete contrast I'm sitting by a very warm wood stove , listening to Evil Under the Sun by Agatha Christie while working on a project for the youngest's class.



If you are ever asked to cut out 18 pairs of felt bears and then punch holes around the edges so the kids can sew them together ..just make sure you have something interesting to listen too (and don't forget to oil the punch!)



and this is what they are supposed to end up like when the children have a go!

from an old gravestone

If you hold your nose to the Grindstone
and you leave it there long enough,
Then soon you'll say
there's no such things
as brooks that babble
and birds that sing,
these three will all your world compose,
just you, the stone and your poor old nose.

(from memory so may not be word perfect)
