New competition – win a fabulous Seagate Tech bundle for telling us what you think!

It’s our tenth birthday this year – I know. Go US! Like all nearly-grown-ups, we thought it was time for a new look. But now we’ve changed the style, we want to look at what we’re doing behind the pretty doors. What we do has changed enormously since 2004 – where we began is a Very Long Way from where we are now.

Somewhere along the way I gained the impression that Primula was a Bad Thing, and it stopped making an appearance in my fridge years ago. So when I was asked to make a sandwich with it for National Sandwich Week (that’s THIS WEEK people. I hope you’ve been doing your...

Skateboards. Scooters. Skates. And, yes, pogo sticks too. Of such things a wild and exciting childhood is made. Who can forget that wild and fearless feeling the first time you’re riding something that goes faster than you can run?  You’re not convinced you can turn it, you’re pretty darn sure you can’t stop it… but you don’t really care. It’s going f-a-a-a-a-st. I had a big yellow metal...

We have a fun and friendly monster treat in store for your 7 year-olds! As new Home Ed-ders, we’ve been hunting for fun ways of engaging the younger (rather disengaged) two with the core basics. Maths lessons? No thanks, says the 7 year-old. Not. At. All. But – we did find that handing her a book full of Monsters and silly cartoons (plus the all-important gold stickers), and she’d happily while away an hour, not...
