It has been a very busy and full time lately but all truly great and progressive nonetheless. We have had many different visitors coming and going, lots of activity going on outside where the property has been expanded in surprising ways and many new things have been created, it really does feel so much bigger than under an acre. We have been eating like kings including enjoying eating produce from the garden every day and trying out new cooking methods, ie, a delicious manuka smoked tarakihi yesterday all done in a pan over the gas hob. I have been quite busy including growing this baby who is due to arrive into our world in just over a month! And I have been organising a National SPACE training weekend to be held in Westport over a weekend in May (can see why event management is a career) and applying for funding for that which seems like we will get. Have also arranged for Sarah the Scientist to come to our house for a day in May and this will involve other local home educated people. Lennox has been an absolute delight and is growing and learning in new ways, Timo is entering a new phase of responsibility and Caoimhe read her first book out loud today by herself (nb, she has taught herself to read as Timo is also doing). It was a basic version of Snow White. Apart from Timo (the boy who has never washed his hair :) we have also all had nits!! On top of it now, but what a trial combing every morning and night (am not using pesticide on our hair). No idea how we got them in the first place... we don't go to school!
