    Mortgage-free Glee!
    I am glad that you are keeping busy Gally. Wouldn't want you to get bored!:beer:
    Paid off mortgage nine years early in 2013. Now picking and choosing our work to fit in with the rest of our lives!
    Still thrifty though, after all these years:D

    Thanks, Debs. :D I'd not been on the osprey cam for a few days but she's there now. Pity son is out until later. However, I've got to attend a meeting with a customer in that area over Easter, will take son and go to Rutland Water afterwards. :)
    2018 totals:
    Savings £11,200
    Mortgage Overpayments £5,500

    Good Friday procession - Jesus meeting the Virgin Mary while carrying the cross to Calgary (very moving, the choir was singing and the old streets in the pueblo are very atmospheric:

    Absolutely gorgeous, Gally, thanks for posting.

    I must say though, Jesus had to walk much further than I thought ... Calgary's quite a way (I'm so sorry, I couldn't help myself!).
