    Have a lovely hols :)
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!

    Evening, glorious evening, eating dinner in the garden. A few jobs completed and Mr T has done a bit of DIY - that's always a worry :)

    The sun is just setting and the swallows are dive bombing the pool and playing.

    Listening to the wind through the palm trees - am definitely feeling blessed and grateful that we have a peace of heaven.

    Night, Tilly x x x
