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.

At Home: One Year! How did I get on?

I can’t quite believe it has been a whole year since I moved! Today I am reflecting on how I’ve got on with making this my dream cottage by the sea…..and a bit of a tour of the place as it’s looking today.

Vivi’s Cottage Garden: Garden Tour – April ’26

One year on….and after a horrible winter of almost non-stop rain….how is the seaside cottage garden looking? As we walk about the garden I’ll show you the plants/crops that survived and outline the jobs that need doing. Wrap up warm…..it’s a chilly day.
