Being back and out of quarantine has meant lovely fun in the garden with our gorgeous friends. On … Continue reading Fun with friends
The girls will be glad when they get back to home schooling! After two days dashing about meeting and spending time with family in the day and our friends’ kids in the evening we were off house hunting.... well should I say boat hunting! As we have been out of the UK so long we … Continue reading Finding a home

He has taken modular assessments, quizzes and online exams and passed them all with flying colors. Until now there has been no opportunity to take his practical exams as we have not been in the … Continue reading Daddy is learning!
