“Being at home can be fun, insulating, relaxed, boring or isolating ... depending on how the day is going.”*
School holidays are almost upon us in my part of the world, and that means three weeks of noise and squabbling balanced by lazy days and laughter. Many of those days will be spent at home, basking in the simple pleasures of baking, playing or gardening together – trying to relax the everyday routines of school-morning bustle and ‘having to be somewhere on time’. We’re also going camping – our first family adventure in the great outdoors!
