It’s been a week of cricket! C started on Monday, looking very much the part in whites handed down (along with Trixie cat) by our friends who emigrated to Australia. Being on our own reminded J and I of our days before C left school. We played lots of games and looked forward to picking C up once we’d had enough of the peace!

After a day at our home-ed centre on Tuesday, J decided to join in the cricket on Wednesday and Thursday so I had two whole days to make a start on the decluttering I’d planned for next week while the children are at summer camp.

Plus lots of planning for the next school year which, inspired by all the wonderful homeschooling bloggers out there, is definitely my favourite pastime at the moment! I just need to work on that non-strong suit of mine – finishing, in this case ending up with something we can put into practice in our homeschool come September!
