    Nice to do things like that, refreshing, as you say :)

    As far as plants are concerned - tell me you have a few perennial herbs scattered about the place, chives and sage and whatnot?
    Yes, I forgot them! We have some mint, basil and chives. That's something we could easily extend, as herbs always seem to do well, without too much attention

    We've made a start. We've ordered our paint and the bedding. The bedding is from BHS and I'm particularly pleased with it, as there was a 20% online discount. Plus, I remembered to go through £Co, so I'm getting good!

    Today is the 2nd anniversary of my diary. I can't quite believe it's gone that quickly.


    In my first post, I said that I felt on the brink of a new stage in my life. Two years down the road, I'm pleased to say that I feel our new life is well established, and we are living the Adventure:)


    So it's timely that I've finally sorted out my holiday photos, as that was quite a big adventure


    Madeira - our first port

    Sometimes, the ship anchors off shore, and you 'tender' ashore, using the lifeboats
