Running Free, Theatre Reviews, Other Podcasts
Today we talk a lot about some of the culture we’ve been consuming in lockdown, including online theatre and our favourite podcasts.
Episodes
Bouncing Before Breakfast
One little family's big adventures. Capturing daily life through a global pandemic and beyond. Finding the magic in everyday things.
Episodes
Tree Climb, Chalk, Disco, Ticket to Ride
Day 22 of family lockdown brought park time, board games and a family disco.
Hotwheels, Hedgehogs, Skulls and Scottish Stories
We learned about Hedgehogs, pimped a Hotwheels track with Magtiles and drew a horse skull. Mummy also reads a story at the end of this episode.
Tiny Garden, Loft Raiding, Virtual Birthdays
Two of the kids’ friends had birthdays today, so we did our bit to try and help make them feel special, even in lockdown.
Singing, Play Dough, Story, Scrabble
Lockdown Sunday still feels Sundayish. A mellow day with some simple pleasures.
Neelsworld, Bones, Reggae Baking, Twins!
A fairly chilled Saturday, we started the day chatting to Neel in Australia while having our breakfast, then heard some lovely uplifting news later on.
Effort, Niffler, Big Jim, Zoom Party
After a day off from podcasting yesterday, we got back in the swing with some fun Friday lockdown activities.
April Fools, Beads, Lego Dinosaurs
A day of ups and downs, in that order. There was much excitement when a parcel of goodies arrived for the kids.
Jeep-Marine, Tadpoles, Tent Games
Being in lockdown means using our imaginations to keep the kids occupied. Today we put up a tent in the garden for playing in, and as an escape from the crowded house!
Poem, Bad Scooting, Cyber Guides
We attempted to introduce some variety by scooting instead of walking for our fresh air today, but it was not popular! Some virtual socialising was had, and more baking was done.
Rope swings, Breadmaker, Meze
A rather geeky episode; mostly of Ant fixing the Breadmaker!
Housework, Kubb, Rainbow, Fire
The second weekend of official lockdown. We decided to warm our cockles with a campfire.
Forget-me-nots, Carrot Cake, Picard
Friday may not have the same buzz about it when you’re stuck home, but it did bring some definition to our week, and the season finale of Picard!
Meg & Mog, Carrots, Playmobil, Breadmaker
Ten days into our self-isolation and we’re thinking up new ways to occupy ourselves each day. Today there was a two hour online sewing lesson and Ant had a go at fixing the breadmaker.
Skype Quiz and Bathtime Bookclub
We chatted to family Up North and even played a trivia game over Skype!
Paper Planes, Long Man, Tiny Chocolate
Today the government announced stronger measures to enforce social distancing, which we’ve already been observing as a family for a week now. At least the sun is shining and we’re still allowed out for a walk.
Cows, Ration Cake & Slapstick
Trying to keep spirits up, one week into our family lockdown. The main ingredients seem to be cake, fresh air and laughter.
A Low Key Mothering Sunday
Having been cooped up together all week, the kids badly needed some 1:1 time, so we decided to divide and conquer, even though it was Mother’s Day.
Live Jiving, Foraging, Nana Time and Karaoke
Today felt like any normal Saturday, apart from theatre school being online, and seeing Nana via a screen. The kids foraged for nettles and wild garlic which I then cooked for dinner, and we ended the day with some family karaoke!
Pancakes, Sleepless Nights, Knitted Loo Roll & Battenberg
Day four of self isolation seemed to be very food oriented, perhaps because some groceries had finally arrived. A FaceTime chat with our friend Linda lifted our spirits after a rather sleepless night.
Workout, Totnes Skype, Rockpools & Geocaching
It’s day three of our self isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic, and we managed to talk to friends in Totnes, do a fun workout and get down to the beach for some geocaching and rockpooling fun. Plus some musings on home education for those about to be unwillingly flung into it!
Birdsong, Buns and a Mystical Starfish
In day two of self isolation, the Miller family appreciates nature, bakes buns, and takes advice from a mystical starfish.
Battening Down the Hatches Episode 1
Day one of our official self isolation. The Miller family considers how we are being affected by the global COVID-19 pandemic, and how we plan to get through these difficult times.
