The joy of fungi! We’ve been spotting mushrooms popping up all over on our walks lately — all shapes, colours, and sizes. There’s something magical about discovering them, like hidden treasures on the forest floor. 🍄

Fungi play a vital role in the ecosystem — quietly recycling nutrients and helping trees communicate through underground networks. Nature never fails to inspire and amaze.

Have you spotted any cool mushrooms lately?

🌟 Calling home-educating families in Buckinghamshire 🌟

Have you heard about the Home Education Visits at The Roald Dahl Museum and Story Centre? On select days, the museum opens exclusively for home-ed families (closed to the general public) with fewer visitors, special workshops, storytelling, creative writing, gallery challenges, and more. If you love Roald Dahl, creative learning, or just enjoy a day out with like-minded families, this is worth checking out. These days are designed to be flexible, welcoming, and full of magic — perfect for families who want a mix of guided sessions and self-led exploration.

You can find more details and book via their website. Their next home ed day is Tuesday 16 December. I wish we lived closer!

💚 No affiliation, I just wanted to share 💚

A new adventure for my son — he’s joined a historical fencing group! From longsword to rapier (and everything in between), it’s all about skill, precision, and plenty of fancy footwork. Such a brilliant mix of history, physical activity, and focus.

👇💚 Do sign and share the 'Withdraw the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill' petition. Remember that your children, other family, friends, neighbours - everyone can sign. As long as it's a different email address each time, and you make sure to verify the email after signing.

We call on the Government to withdraw the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill. We believe it downgrades education for all children, and undermines educators and parents. If it is not withdrawn, we believe it may cause more harm to children and their educational opportunities than it helps
