Parents are their children's teachers...

No, not some incredibly worthy diatribe on how we teach children so much but a quick post on a cold, wet day to say that I really enjoy teaching my eldest boy about classic films.

I could be good at this cinematic education business.

    I've been trying to get my daughter in to the classic black and whites but she isn't interested unless films are in colour. They just don't know what they're missing out on. I've enjoyed reading your Filofax posts. I used to use one but I got fed up of hauling it about everywhere. I just use a diary now.

    I float in and out of Filofaxes... more in than out, I have to say. This years madness of Filofaxes is really just another attempt to get and keep organised. I was carrying 3 different unmoveable notebooks with me at one stage and it just seemed ridiculous, when a Filofax is ultimately adaptable. I'm hooked.

My Latest Trick...

I really need to introduce you to my latest hooky love, before it gets finished and I end up not telling you the back story. Let me show you what I'm on about first; World, meet Autumn Ripple Blanket (Autumn for short). You see, I have a granny square with flowers and a black background blanket that I'm desperate to finish for my bedroom, and a list of decorative items I'd like to do for Autumn and Christmas, so I sat down last week to make an Autumn Inspirations board on Pinterest (like you do) and made this; https://www.pinterest.com/angeljem5/autumn-and-fall/ and I loved the colours and the feelings it aroused in me. Colour-wise I am a warm autumn, but very often misbehave and don't wear them (long reason; won't say now) but I do love them, and the whole Season of Mists and Mellow Fruitfulness bit, so the board keeps filling up with pure autumnal inspiration. Until this one hits my eye. From The Glamorous Housewife's site . And the colours are be...

Hallowe'en... good or bad?

For years when mine were little, we studiously avoided Hallowe'en. We went to the Church's Light Party (if fancy dress was in order, it was superheroes, or princesses not witches or skeletons) and made little or no adjustment to the daily order, so no bobbing for apples, peeling skins for divination or any thing that smacked of magicality at all. It worked for us; we didn't go Trick or treating, and those who visited us were politely told, "We don't celebrate Hallowe'en here" The children grew up sensible and well-adjusted, they don't do gross horror films and I'm proud of them. This year they are all old enough to make up their own mind. The lads are easy; if it involves effort, then they're not bothered. But the Princess is a great joiner, and wants to be part of her group. So when a friend invited her to a Hallowe'en party I gave her the option; of course the answer was yes. "I'm not celebrating Hallowe'en," she said,...
