Hello

Hello and welcome to our blog. We are a family of 4 and have been home educating since our eldest son would have started school in 2012. Dh and I share the H.E duties between us.

Struan is now playing 3 instruments and needs to practise each of them every day. If he was at school I don't think he would be able to and I think I may be baulking at him having so much on his plate at such a young age.
