First milestone


"Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want". 
Yesterday was wet and windy. We had planned a 2 mile walk along the canal, and back on the railway walk finishing at the tearoom. I suggested to Sarah that she put on her waterproof trousers. They were uncomfortable over her skirt, but she wouldn't change into leggings, so we had the choice of staying in, or going out as we were. We went out. 
After about half a mile of rain and wind, Sarah decided that we should go back, without going to the tearoom, because she'd made a bad choice in the clothing department. 



Today was a bit special because our first half tern of home education finished so quickly. I feel so happy'
Ellen's first half-term has finished today so we're done too. Although, we're not really, we'll just carry on as normal and Rachel and Ellen can join us in Home Education for a week. 
So we went on a bike ride.

We rode to Cupcake Lane and had a cakepop.

I also went on the swing.
it was so much fun.


I  love  my lemon cake
Sarah's first 100% independent cake. I got banned from the kitchen. She weighed out all the ingredients herself, mixed it all, put it in the oven, fetched it out, iced it. She's not 100% eating it. It's too nice.

Wheelie wet Wednesday

Off we go again along the South Staffs Railway Walk from Wombourne towards Aldersley

This is the 3km prize

and back again. It's easier going back because it's ever so slightly downhill. 

You remember I said we were prepared for the weather?!
Back at Bratch again. 

Please note how beautifully I co-ordinated the shelter with the Lidl bag. 

Back home and dried out after a mug of hot chocolate, Sarah made a cake. Here she is learning about levers. 

And here is the cake. It's particularly yummy. It's now cut up into small pieces and waiting in the freezer to be put into a packed lunch. Who knows where it will end up?
