for fabulously frugal food
Had a lovely outing on Thursday. A friend who was bereaved six months ago was experiencing her first birthday without her much loved husband. All those firsts are always especially difficult. She decided that she wanted to celebrate that birthday well, and then forget...
I love this gorgeous time of year! Everything is hurling itself out of the ground and I’ve taken a few snaps of what’s happening in my garden.

Day out today. We pootled off down to Alfriston. I wanted to have a leisurely look around after visiting the village briefly on a WI garden group visit to Alfriston Clergy House recently. Cheekily, we parked in the massive car park of the Deans Place Hotel. Parking is...

Bumps I wrote in this post about how a friend had accidentally bumped into me. On Friday, I took the car up to the repairers and they did a lovely job. On Saturday, I picked it up again and we now have a beautiful, clean, shiny, sort of super waxed looking bumper...
