Thinking Pink!

We had a Pink day at school yesterday to raise money for Breast Cancer Research - almost £1000 from pupils and teachers, so a great effort. My Form did themselves, and me, proud with their pinkness!





Well done 7F for truly entering into the spirit of the day!

Conserving the summer

I was busy jamming and chutney-ing this weekend, some for us, some for Christmas gifts and some for our school Christmas Fayre.

Ruby and Arizona

Meet Arizona and Ruby, sock bunnies made by Kenya and Milli
 
 
With just a little help from me, from humble sock origins.

Serendipitous hearts

Hearts this time, just manifesting themselves quietly. During our Australian holiday. Spending beautiful quality time with family.

Monograms

I do like finding my initial in unexpected places!

Christmas Boxes

Time for this year's Samaritan's Purse boxes, one for a girl and one for a boy. I always have such fun finding things to go in. I took them down to Mummie last weekend and she will take them to the local depot.

 
For a little boy

 
For a little girl
 
I hope the recipients will enjoy the contents when they arrive in time for Christmas!
