November highlights. E had the lead in the school play. Shakespeare may never before been performed in Kermit the frog socks. I shall spare you the Madonna outfit...... More gorgeous skies. I may become obsessed. J and I had a brief visit to the big city. Parakeets in the park, the Greenwich observatory and the most beautiful Christmas lights.driftwoodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11416170414524297337noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7390436548583166562.post-90691612731401734112017-12-29T10:33:00.000+00:002017-12-29T10:33:21.863+00:00October <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Sepember so far. I have a new part time job at a local farm where they produce beautiful yarn from their goats and sheep The sheep like to keep an eye on me to make sure I am doing everything properly. "No sheep, I never make your yarn into terrible tangles........ of course not........"<br />

The children are back at school. It is Miss K's last year. How is that possible? It was surely only a few weeks ago that were buying her first ever school shoes... Now we are overwhelmed with UCAS applications or apprenticeships or ??? E has to start thinking about A level choices or college applications or ???<br />

<li style="text-align: left;">yesterday was hubby's birthday. We carried a birthday picnic all the way to the top of this hill, which has amazing views over the Cheviots, and the Northumberland coastline. Also huge thunderstorms We got very rained on, and carried the picnic back to the car and ate in the car park listening to the rain hammering down on the roof.... although I was less worried about wet and more worried about the lightning...... I had to make an extra large cake when we got home to recover!</li>

<li>I wrote a blog post about coeliac awareness week. and then deleted it. it was really boring. you're much better off going to <a href="https://www.coeliac.org.uk/home/" target="_blank">coeliac.org.uk </a> they've got loads of great information.</li>
<li>one of the cats brought in mice. two mice, at the same time. no idea how. whilst I caught mouse one in a box mouse two hid somewhere in the kitchen. he's still there, I saw him this morning run from under the fridge towards the washing machine. he is super fast and super tiny and occasionally the cat looks at the washing machine in a slightly puzzled way and then wanders off bored....... the teenagers want to keep it as a pet.</li>
<li>the teenage boy had a haircut. after years of wanting to have long and shaggy curls he suddenly asked for it really short. . he has filled my phone with selfies trying to look at it from all angles............ when he walks into the room for a second I don't recognize him.... does that make me a bad parent.....</li>
<li>the teenage girl has suddenly become obsessed with baking. I suspect it is because the exam revision is making her go slightly mad. </li>
<li>I am preparing to wage war on slugs. <a href="http://cjabovetheriver.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Claire </a>has already had slug casualties. All slug repellent ideas welcome. Also mouse removal expertise appreciated.</li>

<br />
Then <a href="http://www.thehomemadeheart.typepad.com/" target="_blank">Penny at homemadeheart </a>posted a picture on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/penny.homemadeheart/" target="_blank">instagram</a> of her kitchen sink with the hashtag #reallifehome.<br />
<br />
Light bulb moment!<br />
<br />
I want to live a real life.<br />
in a home and not a show home.<br />
I never ever want to create a flat lay, my garden has the biggest crop of dandelions you ever did see, and I'm quite proud of that. and mess, oh I can create the best kitchen mess you ever imagined.<br />

so in the interest of "keeping it real", here are some bluebells I picked from my mother in laws flood battered garden. Transported home, and still elegantly displayed in the takeaway tea cup that was in the foot well of the car because the journey there was extra long due to the road works, and we had to buy tea at Scotch Corner services after sitting in stationary traffic for nearly an hour .........<br />

As for the show home, well on Friday night it turned into a film studio for the teenage boy's course work, Every personal item, picture, cushion, plant and accessory got squirrelled away(stuffed in cupboards or dumped on my bed.............), to be replaced only by items suitable for the film's character - wine bottles, dirty dishes in the sink, takeaway menus on the fridge and a giant mess of dvd's on the floor.......... some of the furniture even got the dust sheet treatment.... thankfully the teenager put it all back again afterwards, and the house is mostly back to it's chaotic usual self, although there are still dirty dishes in the sink - guess that's my reality too.......<br />

brrrr it's chilly. I've spent all week looking at pictures of sunshine and spring flowers from the south of England on instagram and wondering why I'm so cold.<br />
oh that's because this is the north.....<br />
<br />
2)<br />
I am waiting impatiently for signs of spring. And warmth. The only spring there is round here is a new coil spring for front wheel of the car when it had it's MOT yesterday. The lady who rang me told me it needed it, how much it would be (ouch) and then that it wouldn't pass the MOT without a new one. So did I want it fixed? Urm let me think about that for a minute..... Honestly..... no I want to drive around with an unsafe and illegal vehicle........<br />
<br />
3)<br />
It's the local spring show tomorrow. I've just been out in my freezing garden (did I mention I was cold?) to try and find anything suitable to enter.<br />
Everything is either<br />
a) chewed - mice? pigeons? daffodil climbing snails?<br />
b) rain battered and mud splattered<br />
c) not flowering yet. it's too cold...............<br />
d) fairly pathetic but none of the above so it will have to do........<br />
<br />
4)<br />
I also found a jar of marmalade to enter. (I found that in the cupboard not the garden by the way....)<br />
There seems to be a great deal of variation in marmalade recipes. Some chop the oranges, then boil, some boil them whole and then chop. Should the chopping be fine strips, or is it ok to throw the whole lot in the food processor and whizz it? Which is right? I have marmalade angst.<br />
<br />
5)<br />
I shall not be entering any baking.There are no classes for dairy free/gluten free cakes, and they never taste quite the same as a muggle* cake, so we'll just admire other peoples efforts. Also All baking classes at all the local shows are won by the same lady. I am somewhat baffled as to how she makes 15 or 20 cakes for each show. How big is her oven. Does she buy sugar by the ton? Does she make 20 of each at the same time, defrosting one each time she needs it? Or does she have a time machine?<br />
<br />
<br />
So any marmalade tips? Any signs of spring and sunshine where you live? And if so you can send some up here please! I'm off to make a pot of tea and try and get warm.<br />
Have a lovely weekend x<br />

The Planning. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Sometime in January I signed E up to do an explorer* event in London. And promptly forgot all about it. Over the Easter weekend I got an email with details of the event, followed at 11pm on Sunday night by a frantic email from the main explorer leader, requesting parental help. He'd booked the event, but he now couldn't go, and neither could the minibus. He had one leader but would any parents (with DBS checks) be able to drive to London on Friday.... J and I had one of those crazy very very late at night conversations, which went mostly like, "well if we don't go then who will?" Cue frantic collection of camping kit, travel cards, phone chargers, food, extra food, emergency car snacks....</div>

<br />
The journey.<br />
<span style="text-align: center;">It's 313 miles from here to the scout park in north London. although if you don't check properly you think it's 270 miles, and when you realise with 30 miles to go that actually there's 73 miles to go everyone gets a bit tetchy with you. just saying.....</span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;">J left work early so we left with a car full of explorers at 3pm instead of the scheduled 5pm. </span>Two stops, five sets of road works, some crazy traffic, and 7 hours later we arrived.<br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

The Game.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="http://monopolyrun.com/" target="_blank">Monopoly Run. </a> This year over 900 scouts/leaders/senior section guides and crazy parents raced around London, seeing the sights, earning "£'s" taking photographs and tweeting them. Each team had a list of locations and challenges, you had to visit as many of the locations as possible, some of them at specific timings, answer the location specific question, take a team selfie, and tweet it with the location hashtag (#Trafalgarsquare) and your team number back to head quarters, and rush to the next place. You could do them in any order, more £'s were earned for further away or harder to get to sites, some were genuine monopoly board locations, others were changed in order to make it different each year, and to get a fantastically varied view of London. Team selfies had to be varied and include a variety of poses, and extra £'s were earned for "Chance cards" eg take a photo on a Santander bike, with a member of the public, with a police man, and everyone in your team in a phone box, or "Community Chest" locations, eg The Royal Albert Hall, or a Trafalgar Square Lion. You had 9 hours to visit as many locations as you can, before returning back to "GO" at the campsite. Our explorer group fielded a team of 7 explorers who came 18th out of 142 teams, and J and I and a leader made up an adult team. I learnt that my geographical knowlege of London is dreadful, and that I am much more comfortable navigating with an OS map than with an A-Z and a tube map, that camping in April can be chilly, and that tweeting in a hurry can lead to a) not including the photo, b) not including the hashtag, c) typing the wrong #.... and d) general grumpiness. I also learnt not to use the steps at Covent Garden tube station, that London is a crazy long way to drive, and is filled with far too many people, but is beautiful and inspiring, and has so many more places than I'd ever imagined and we have to go back again next year, and try and visit even more locations. </div>

J and I drove over to see his mum at the weekend, to check up on the status of the flood damage and to see what progress was being made. We found 3 wonderful layers of oh so stylish wall paper behind where the kitchen cupboards used to be. I can decide if I prefer the fake wood effect or the oh so stylish brown floral with boats and cottages..... I truly can't imagine anyone thinking orange was a good colour for the kitchen.........</div>

To say the house is looking a little sad would be an understatement, but after several hours work there are less skirting boards stacked up in the yard and a satisfying pile of firewood ready for next winter!</div>

Back home there is progress on a new flower bed, this side of the garden doesn't get much sun, this year I may throw several packets of wild flower seed at it, and see what happens, whilst I come up with a creative plan (work out what might possibly grow there........)<br />

this week I've seen.<br />
<br />
1. Rock of Ages - performed as the high school musical.<br />
80's rock - ripped jeans, band t-shirts, leather wrist straps, tattoos (sleeves and temporary!)<br />
Over 200 hours of rehearsals. Well deserved 5 show sell out. <br />
<br />

2. <a href="http://analoguetheatre.co.uk/portfolio/stowaway/" target="_blank">Stowaway</a> <br />
"<span style="font-family: helvetica_neueregular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">A Boeing 777 begins its descent towards Heathrow. The wheels unfold out of the belly of the plane. The frozen body of a stowaway is tipped out and cuts through the clear morning sky."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: helvetica_neueregular, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Incredible production with beautiful choreography, thought provoking story, and a fascinating Q&A session at the end. If it's going to be near you I highly recommend it.</span><br />
