  • A Winters Day

    Darkness falls temperature falls snow falls and the time goes on, as shadows die the sun will rise and the birds will wake to sing their morning song – “Up, up and live this day”!

  • Seasonal Shopping

    I knew it was going to happen but I think I noticed it more this time because Dearest Son saw it and commented loudly about it. What am I talking about? Picture the scene: it was the last few days before Christmas and we had nipped into a local shop for a few bits and…

  • Welcoming January

    Hello old friend. I know things can’t be easy for you, coming after such an exciting month. You get all the blame don’t you? You’re too cold, everyone’s broke or ill – hardly your fault. You try to bring more light. You give the bulbs that chill they need, then Spring gets all the credit…

  • Looking forward to making changes

    Hold on tight and strap in friends because several fires have been lit under my butt and I’m itching to share. Firstly, I have been working slowly on the decluttering process of the house for a while and was delighted last week when I managed to remove 2 boxes, 1 black bag and a carrier…

  • 10 Kitchen Tips for the Budget Conscious

    1 – Keep a piece of paper taped to a cupboard door (or inside), and when you run out of something or think of something you need, jot it down on the paper – instant shopping list! 2 – Always make and take that shopping list. It does no good being left on the cupboard…

  • Time to take down the Christmas decorations – and I don’t like it!

    The time finally came to take down the Christmas decorations and get the house back to ‘normal’. I don’t like to remove everything on the one day for a few reasons: The first 2 speak for themselves but I’m perplexed by the third one. Its the same every year but I don’t have a name…
