Welcome to my second massive summer school holiday activities post (it’s taken me two years to get over doing the last one!). I hope you’ll find it as useful as I know I will. There’s some cracking stuff for our kids to do this summer but I’m sure there is more out there. If you’re going to be running […]
Read MoreWell, I have been so busy dealing with my children’s chickenpox that I let my own blogging birthday slide without noticing. Motherhood, eh? But it turns out I ignited Little Lewes one year and four days ago, on June 1st 2013, with the post ‘Welcome, hoped-for readers‘. It received a tiny but appreciated applause on Twitter as […]
