It’s freezing cold outside so a few quick trips out there and then the rest of the day juggling jobs indoors.

I’m fuming! Trying to exercise my consumer rights and getting nowhere. On a happier note; some great books, a plumbing issue resolved and thoughts on my old neighbourhood.

What a treat! I’m having a second Christmas as my friends Richard and Paul visit. Food, friends, gifts and plenty of fresh air down on the beach. Plus, the famous Boxing Day swim! Richard’s (GORGEOUS!) fudge recipe is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yEoYCZHsQw

At Home: Christmas 2025! My first Christmas at the Cottage by the Sea
Before I get stuck into a chat about coupons…and then what’s in my pantry….I take delivery of a lovely ‘live’ present. Hahaha, yes, a tour of my food cupboards/stash as requested.

Yay!!! One of my favourite days of the year…..treats for a tenner! Christmas treats, whatever I fancy with a £10 note in my pocket. Inflation means it’s more like £7.80 today compared with my first ‘treats’ in 2020…….how far can I make it stetch?

It’s been over five weeks since I was last able to get any work done in the garden…..the weather has not been playing ball. Finally a dry day comes along so I start on a never-ending task! Plus a check on the winter crops.

Hurray – today I am going to make my first ever wreath! I’ve never had a front door suitable for one so I am super excited to give it a go here. Hahaha – it won’t be perfect but it will be made with joy and love. Plus a couple of other quickie makes for the festive season.
