There’s something gloriously ironic about this picture. That’s Izzy sat at her laptop watching Numberjacks while I’m online with @pitutor having a GCSE maths lesson!

Just a foxglove. Or is it???

I took this picture earlier in the week when Izzy and I met up with a family friend and his kids and we went for a walk (...as we are now permitted to do in England).

It was significant for two reasons. Firstly, Izzy was able to see a friend and she needs the social contact. It’s been tough for her since her older sister returned to school.

Secondly, this was a moment of brief respite from the absolutely craziness of the end of this school year and preparing for the summer break. Everything g this year is taking so much extra effort: Researching what will be open and under what conditions, how far you can realistically travel, what sports clubs and activities will be operating, which family members it would be okay to meet and so on. Oh yeah, then there’s preparing Helen for starting secondary school while seeing through the final few days of homeschooling Izzy.

I have no idea if I’m coming or going! Full story in the blog (link in bio).

Does this sound familiar to you?

I did a bad thing. I’m sorry.

Look, there was this advert on the internet for cheap, customised, reusable face masks and I just couldn’t help myself.

It won’t happen again. I promise.

I can’t lie, this week is proving tough. Thankfu

I can’t lie, this week is proving tough. Thankfully, I got out with Izzy for a really long and much needed walk this morning. Spotted this pond and the trees reflected in it. You know me, I love a reflection so I just had to take the pic!

Roll on the summer holidays. I can’t wait!

I mean come on, how awesome is this? After a tough week (...this one has been very demanding) the ONE thing I needed to stumble across was a ‘ladybird crossing.’

It made me smile, and whatever is going on in your life right now, I hope it makes you smile too.

Bigger version with an explanation as to why this week has been tough can be found on the blog (link in bio).

Anyone else want to hide after three months of homeschooling?

As far as I am concerned, we can’t get to the school holidays fast enough. If anything, having one child at school and the other at home has been more challenging.

It’s also given us an insight as to what the ‘big’ return to school could be like in September. I think pupils will probably settle very quickly into the formal learning g regime, but socially, things could be tough.

Leave a comment, let me know how you are feeling after three months and do go visit the blog (link in bio) for more detail.
