At Home: Measuring, Restoring and Treasure?

Another (!) rain day means I’m getting on with a few more jobs at the Cottage by the Sea. Today I’m in the bedroom….measuring, rehanging art…..a bit of restoration for a recent purchase….and curiosity gets the better of me: could this be some hidden treasure?! And the area above the cooker is finished.

At Home: Flood Defences & Flicker Books

I try to go for a walk every day….today I’m off to the Post Office with a detour to the sea first to explain some of the winter storm/flood defences……and the age of the sea wall. Later, back at home some fab books and a bit of chat before another wander in Swanage as I walk home the long way from the Library.

At Home: More cleaning & fixing

Today I am tackling mould (amongst other things)……using a simple household ingredient that costs pennies! I’m also hanging ‘pictures’ and explaining how to find your measurements without any maths – for those who are number phobic. Plus other bits and bobs.

At Home: Mending & Cleaning

It’s Sunday! A day off! I’m using my day off to catch up on jobs because the weather is too yucky for much beach time. Little jobs that have been bugging me for a while can get ticked off today….including removing rawl plugs ready to fill and smooth the plaster….

At Home: Health Checks & Big Waves (before Storm Ingrid).

It’s the start of a new year and high time to get some health stuffed checked out….including a slightly new eye prescription necessitating new glasses. Morning appointments give me the perfect excuse to visit the beaches to do some wave gazing during a Spring Tide (this was three days before Storm Ingrid hit…..the Ingrid waves were treble the size!). Plus some wonderful books and films (two of which were lovely Christmas gifts – thank you!).

At Home: Swear words? New eco deodorant plus a natter

My new ‘eco’ deodorant has arrived…a quick review plus price comparison. While portioning my latest batch cook I muse on words we use in the UK which might be considered swear words elsewhere. Plus a natter at the kitchen table. Pull up a chair and make yourself comfortable.
