Hi Everyone,
It’s Saturday afternoon here and we’ve just got home from lunch with my children’s Nana, my dear mother! It was lovely and we’re stuffed to the gills. Let me make this clear. My mother does not cook, my grandmother fed me. BUT…my mother can make 1 dish and she has perfected it (she’s made […]

Hi Everyone
It’s icy cold again here in our part of the Cape. Spring refuses to get going at this time. I’d like to share a very brief summary of the temperament of the Melancholic Child. This is often the most misunderstood of the temperaments. My daughter is Melancholic and it took me years to understand […]

Hi Everyone
It’s absolutely Freeeeezing here in Cape Town. We had the most stunning warm spring day last Saturday, where the whole family spent most of the day in the garden weeding vegetable beds, trimming grass, trimming back long overdue shrubs.

Hi Everyone,
As you know if you’ve visited before the curriculum we use for StJohn is Waldorf based and this year I moved Juliette from a Waldorf Curriculum to Clonard, a more academic curriculum.
