‘The Blessing of my later years
Was with me when a boy:
She gave me eyes, she gave me ears;
And humble cares, and delicate fears;
A heart, the fountain of sweet tears;
And love, and thought, and joy.’
— William Wordsworth
Today we visited Wordsworth’s childhood home. We are on holiday in the beautiful Lake District and so a visit to Wordsworth House and Garden was a must. Over the last few days, we got ourselves excited by memorising the first couple of verses of the poem ‘Daffodils’.
Well here I am finally starting a blog!
My head is swamped with ideas about education, life and learning and so I hope to use this space as somewhere to share some of these things I have been pondering.
Our family made the big decision to start homeschooling our children over a year ago. This involved taking our eldest two out of the school they were attending and so inevitably we have had thousands of questions since from everyone around us.
“Why would you do that?”
“I could never do that!”
“How did you make that decision?”
