(Filmed 13th of May). This morning I’m heading down to the beach to meet up with a new neighbour and get introductions to some others. A pit stop at the deli on the way for one ingredient. Join me on the beach in the most beautiful morning sunshine……and let the waves wash your troubles away…….

A quickie today to give a health update….for both me (oops) and my home (oops).

(Filmed 18th of May). It’s high time I unpacked and got a working shed sorted. The items were packed last February and March (2024) so I have forgotten what’s in each box……..opening them is like Christmas and memory lane all rolled into one. I also rectify the wrong decision with the composting area.

I am gradually finding the bits and pieces of furniture I need……some new, some vintage. Today I’ll show you how I’ve got on so far……and how the all-important budget is holding up.

A progress report form the cottage garden…..and what I’m learning about my new space as I go. I haven’t had much time for the back garden until now so this is mid-May and I plan to start getting caught up with the timings…..hopefully before the end of June.

(Filmed 8th of May). Today I am (mostly) in the kitchen….chatting about how I’m getting on with the change from gas to electric and other changes for the kitchen while I start my cook-a-thon. Also a look at how my seedlings are doing and a peak at progress in the back garden. Plus a chat about a mistake (grr) on one of my bills and what my Postie has delivered…..

Today it’s all about socialising, activities and making friends. There are heaps of ideas here and I hope some of them translate to your area too. Including my first night out at the theatre in a LONG time…..plus some free events coming up that I’m beyond excited about.

It’s a beautiful day, perfect for a cliff top walk to Peveril Point and the coastguard lookout. I normally do this walk at sea level but having lovely friends with me gives me the confidence to tackle it from high up on the down.

Gorgeous birdsong in the tress at the top….we can hear: Eurasian Blackcap, Eurasian Wren, European Robin and Common Chiffchaff. Along the way we see Swanage Bay and Peveril Bay, Old Harry Rocks and surrounding rock stacks, Durlston Castle….plus all the flora.

New toys to play with in the garden and some slow, methodical work. It won’t happen overnight…..but every day it will get a step closer to being my dream garden. NB: camera/focus issue at 10 minutes….it resolves after a couple of minutes. Also….doh…I kept calling the flower Cosmos….it is, of course, Nigella…..
