Descriptive Writing

Posted March 21st, 2009 at 06:09 AM by TamaMum

My daughter is taking part in a Creative Writing Workshop at school. I was interested in last week's brief so I thought I would give it a go myself.
I can't decide if it's finished or not. I'm trying to resist the temptation to keep "tweaking" at it
Learning is something we should do at all stages in our lives; I just have the luxury to pick and choose what "homework" I do :p

Well Preserved?

Posted August 20th, 2008 at 12:37 PM by TamaMum

I'm feeling very worthy right this minute.

I just finished making a batch of bramble jelly (aka smooth Blackberry Jam without all the irritating pips and bits).
The kids went out blackberry picking the other day and came back with a huge bowl.

Now all I gotta do is go out into the back garden and pick all the ripe plums off our tree.
There are hundreds of the darn things and if they're not picked, they'll rot on the tree

Jam today...

The Great British Summer

Posted August 19th, 2008 at 09:45 AM by TamaMum

I know the Brits have a reputation for being obsessed with the weather, but it's hardly surprising.

They're routinely disappointed by precipitation all year 'round. So much so that it's become a law of nature.

Take this summer for instance. Same as last year. It's the middle of August in London and we didn't have one yet ...

Everyday, we wake up and look out of our windows at grey, overcast skies. There's a stiff breeze blowing too.

Pet Death

I hate it when pets die (and I'm not talking tamagotchis either).

We just got back from 2 weeks annual relative trek in Ireland to discover that while we were away, the hamster passed into permanent hibernation.

Our friends in the next street were caring for him and they were totally devastated and didn't know if they should telephone us to let us know (and spoil the holiday) or wait til we got back. Thank God they waited.

Let's face it... you don't
