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.

It has been years….decades….since I last had a real Christmas tree. To celebrate my first Christmas in my new home I simply had to have one! Today I get the decorations out…..old friends with so many memories attached to each one. Happy decorating everyone.

It’s cold, it’s damp….your bones are moaning at you……so make a pot of this gorgeous three bean chilli to warm your cockles…and other bits! Comfort (and nutrition) in a bowl!

A recipe from half way up a Greek mountain. Happy memories in a meal! If you have a vegetarian coming from Christmas this might be a lovely one….plus all the trimmings, of course!

I did a big shop two weeks ago in anticipation of visitors…..but now I need a bit of a top up (I forgot an important item!)….it cost £10.39. I’m also doing a bit of cooking…using so me of my harvest for a soup and making houmous from the store cupboard. Plus some chat re tinned vs dry and the Instantpot for freezing. And using my homemade beeswax wraps.

Today it’s all about friends, food and foraging…..with some lovely woolies and the Sycamore Gap thrown in for good measure.

Hahaha….it’s time to get some stuff off my chest in my Monthly Moan! Planning permission rules, in-contract price rises….and more……but all sandwiched between some lovely stuff.
