The great squirrel feeding zone

Anyone who knows just a little about me, shakes thier head when it comes to my obsession with squirrels.. Yep.. I go balmy, completely lose my cool when I see squirrels. In fact, I can't just tupe squirrels... It must be shouted... SQUIRRELS!!!!!!! Sorry, where was I?

After a dreary day full of red tape, I attempted to sakvage it with a walk through Hyde Park and to the squirrel hotspots.

Its pretty desolate and damp at the moment, but take it from me, summertime is glorious...

The kids were armed with peanuts and to thier credit, sat sensibly and oatiently for the tree rats to find them.




Yep its a souring one degree.. Perfectly balmy.. Brrrrrr





Science Museum in London

Its cold and damp. The sun barely peeps a ray of gold through the thick clouds. So perfect time to hit the miseums.

I'd forgotten the immensity of these places. Morgan chose the science museum to visit today. Its three floors full of interactivity. Its a teachers dream !!( and a homeschooling mums dream too)

We decided just to focus on the activities experimenting on forces and chemical reactions. What thst meant for the kids was lots of hands on fun.. And hopefully dome learning too.

The bubbles show, ( chemical changes and materials) although aimed at a younger age than my two, still contained enough sciency stuff to wotk with..

I love science for its ability to be dramatic  and exciting.


We enjoyed having Miss Karen to help making the arch..( thank goodness for her engineering ability !) 




The marvels of the ancient archway... never ceases to amaze and astound....
