2:15am and it is still light outside

Last day for school hatchlings

This hatchling came home with a mini viking house.

Tgis one with certificates and a trophy.

And this hatchling was pleased to have her full crew back with her.

Happy summer holidays!

Chicks first music lesson

A gentle afternoon

Seacloud

One of the many joys of living by the sea.

Watching the assortment of ships that sail past from far away lands.

Gallant giants that quietly go about their jouney.

Like a throw back to years gone by.

So very different a feeling from watching planes overhead in the sky.

Perhaps, one day we'll join them - perhaps, we will always sit and daydream about their adventures.

Either way, we are blessed. 

So proud of hatchling no2 - Digging at the Brough Cairn site

Home education has becomea series of university courses for hatchling no2.

Her latest interest is archeology.

She came home sun and wind burnt eavh day, thrilled with discovering and learning about the neolitic village.

We are so blessed. 

Happy birthday, Ducky!

Refusing to give up

Food play has become our daily ritual

Our attempt to keep hatchling no7 connected with food.

She loves the opportunity, which is really rewarding.

Though, it is an exercise in mess.

She thinks hidden toys are funny.

And she loves to feed her toys.

Her tweezer,

And cutlery skills are coming along well.

She likes being the chef

And isn't bothered by temperature.

Learning our shapes,

And mixing textures.

We are trying again and again.

Refusing to give up.

This boy

He is so clever and silly.

He comes off the bus, a flurry of dropped papers, half worn clothes and a great big smile.

So thankful for  him.

First stop heading home!
