Happy New Year !!

To everyone who has taken the time to read my blog, I would like to wish you all a very Happy and healthy New Year.

We have lots of things planned for this year, as Ethan and I see it as the true start of Home Ed.
Here is a quick run down of what we have planned: 

1) Visit to Banbury museum for their WW11, jitterbug and jive workshop in January.
2) Visit to Wessex Flour Mill in February.
3) Visit to Batsford Arboretum in March.
4) Visit to Woodchester Mansion in March
5) Visit to Clearwell caves in March
6) Visit to the Dean Heritage Centre sometime in March/April
7) Visit to Lydney Park Spring Gardens in April/May
8) Visit to Chedworth Roman Villa in May
9) Visit to Hailes Abbey in May
10) Visit to Berkeley Castle In June.

(check out my 'places of interest' page for a more indepth over view of some of the above places).

These are just a few of the things we have planned, along the way there will be plenty of local things going on which we hope to attend and of course, lots of sports, meeting up with other HE families, and thinking up some new and exciting projects along the way. To be honest, it's a really exciting time, because we aren't restricted by anything. We have talked about the above activities, but we aren't tied to them. If we change our minds, or think of something else, we can just go for it. That is the true beauty of Home Schooling, taking things as they present themselves and learning from it for pleasure, not just because it is relevant in some small way to some completely irrelevant test to be taken some other time in the future.

So, here is to a new year. All of us are excited about it, it is the first in our new home with a new member of the family to share it with. I just hope the weather is kind to us and allows for plenty of outside fun!!
