Day 168 - WinterHeff, a tour inside our cosy van

By -
Happy New Year everyone. We wish you all a peaceful and joyful 2018. We've kicked off the new year by coming to the middle of Wales for an indoor festival for Home-Ed families (https://hefestivals.co.uk/winterheff-2017/) which has been lots of fun and an opportunity to meet a very diverse group of people. We have sung in a choir, danced to DJs and Ukeleles, played Human Hungry-Hippos and lots more besides.

With lots of other children about, as well as a cinema and indoor play area, we've had a bit more time to ourselves than normal. Time enough to record a video showing you around Lucia the van. It's taken with my second-hand 4 year-old phone but hopefully good enough to give you a feel.


Hope that was interesting and gave you an idea of how we use the space we have. If you have questions it would be great if you could post them on the blog, rather than on Facebook etc.

Location: Dolfor, Newtown SY16, UK

a bit of an aside - Copenhagen's playgrounds...

(article in progress, come back soon!!) We are coming to the end of 4 days in Copenhagen,  and we have loved exploring the sights  playgrounds of this lovely city. Lesson learned the hard way yesterday...our kids are very happy when they are playing, less happy when they are being tourists,  even when touristing involved getting a harbour boat bus to go visit the citadel. And who can blame them, the legepladsz  (see,  we have even learnt the Danish for playground, although spelling might be a bit dodgy) are Fantastic. So here's a guided tour of a few mostly recommended by our local lovely hostess, Luna. First we visited her in Naestved, and went to the park 5 minutes from her house.. a slide built into a hill,a basketball/multi sports court, some swings. ..so far, so normal. But instead of the usual climbing frame, there were a series of wooden horses to climb on, under, over, between and slide down from. It was great to watch the boys figure out how they were going to use

Day 344 - We can go home now...

This trip was never really about sight-seeing, but back in Spring 2017 we decided that if we were going to go travelling for a year it would be a good idea to know where to go. In one of our now infamous family meetings we brain-stormed the places we would like to go during our year of travels. The resulting list was a combination of places the kids had heard of, places we'd been to as kids, places we'd never been to as kids, and fish. The Atack-opoly board was produced to metaphorically set our target destinations in stone and ever since we set off it has guided our choices of destination.  As I write this we are currently staying on the Isle of Wight, and combined with Laura's trip to the Tower of London with the kids last week we have now collected all the properties on our board. So job done, we can all go home. Except that this list was always more or less just for guidance rather than being a firm plan. We will indeed go home sooner rather than later - the Eu
