Hmm no electricity, no beds, no running water. I'm trying to visualise heaven. I think my version would include a room full of fantastic wool for knitting, my own tv where I could watch what I wanted without interruptions, an allotment without horsetail, and a bottle of Jamesons!
Anyway sounds like you've had a lovely time. Have you run away? lol
I wish. I tried to convince Rob that if we rented it for the whole year, we would probably get a discount on the rent, and it would undoubtedly work out cheaper than our mortgage and bills etc But as he pointed out....no job. Minor detail, say I !!!!
We were refreshed when we left the bothy (although a litle down about leaving) and then we foolishly stoppped at a campsite for a couple of nights before going home!!! It rained solidly both nights and noone got any sleep!!! It was fine during the day though. But I am trying to forget about those nights and remember the gorgeous time we had at the bothy! LOL
what a wonderful time you must have had!!! our idea of heaven. i really hope our lot grow up to be like your lot! just looking at the pictures makes us eager to run away. just had six weeks in france doing well...nothing. which, for kids, is a wonderful thing. (lots of sticks and mud!) we have recruited quite a following for the next home ed camp. And this time we will have a plentiful supply of wine for the beltaine festival (essential in my opinion) written tired so apologies for my spelling! Lucy (from wales home ed camp) and the rest of the hutchinson family x
Hey Lucy! Good to 'see' you!! Thank you *blushes* 6 weeks in France you lucky, lucky things!!! Bliss. We'd love to go back there again but it just seems too much effort now there are more of us!! Yes, wine fo rthe beltaine celebrations is defintiely essential...we too will bring a stash next year. Look forward to seeing you all again xx
We have been Home Educating for over 5 years, with a brief spell in school just recently for the younger two. The eldest is now an apprentice mechanic, attending college every few weeks. Home Education can be hard work and very challenging but is also fun and exciting.It has been a learning experience for us all. We remain autonomously educating and so each of the boys are developing their own interests and skills; with us providing as much assistance as we can or that they need. They are all learning life skills by experiencing life in all its guises. Through good times and bad. They learn team spirit and independence. They learn what they like and dislike, what they are good at and what makes them tick. This, we hope, will prepare them for life in our ever changing and demanding world. This is not a representation of ALL Home Educating families, but a brief glimpse at ours.
