Sunny again, it’s really lovely having such good weather, even though it’s not that warm. We did yet another timed essay in English but we hardly had any time to finish it, as we only had a single lesson, minus 10 minutes! Went to see Dr P this afternoon at Great Ormond Street Hospital, about …
Tuesday 3rd April A Beautiful day. It was really sunny and quite warm. Miss L was taking French CSE orals, but she had set us a picture essay to do, which I almost finished. We are now doing number bases in maths, which are so easy. I think my primary school training has worked well …

All available at Makermart in Gandy Street, Exeter After neglecting my Etsy shop for quite a while now, I’ve decided it’s time to close …
Every August Topsham art group has an exhibition (aside from the lockdown years). It is on for another week until the 26th August and includes a variety of artists work. This year I have two vases, one with birds of prey and a tall vase with a kingfisher and stream. I didn’t enter any wall …
