On the Sofa: Health Scare.

I’ve been a bit quiet on-line for the last couple of weeks because I had a rather horrible health scare. I hope by sharing it will be reassuring and helpful for other folk.

At Home: Nine Years! Plus ‘Awful April’ & Budgeting.

Today marks nine years since my last pay cheque! I reflect a little on how it’s gone before getting into the subject of ‘Awful April’……the annual bills that go up every year….and how I budget to manage it all.

At Home: Chatty Catch-up. Mystery parcel, consumer stuff, books & surprise food.

A long, chatty catch-up today….grab a cuppa, a ball of wool….a pile of ironing. I have a mystery parcel, some consumer stuff including a caution, some books…..and a surprise ‘Easter Egg’!

Out & About: Visitors & Skylarks

This week I’ve had visitors so I’ve been out and about; a visit to my local wool and craft shop, a walk to Old Harry Rocks (a famous group of chalk stacks just off the coast where I live), spring wild flowers and a wonderful close up moment with some skylarks whose song is one of my all-time favourite sounds. Oh……and a very clumsy moment……and a sneak peak, first glimpse of my new shelves.

Vivi’s Cottage Garden: Pruning & Bird Care

After a few months of neglect (because of endless rain) it’s time to start tidying up in the garden. There’s so much to do I split the tasks into small chunks….today I’m going around the garden with my secateurs as the first job….and then I turn my attention to looking after the birds who visit.
