    I went to Greenway the summer before last for the first time and loved it. I'm really keen to go again as there is such a lot to see :). Book a place in the carcpark before you go ES. I've never been to Coleton Fishacre, so must try that.

    Which National Trust places are near you Cumbria?

    They sound interesting Cumbria. I'd love to visit some NT places in other counties, so many places I've never been :o.

    Greenway is amazing, a fascinating house full of Agatha Christie's belongings and beautiful grounds with sea views :).

    Coleton Fishacre is my single favourite national trust place. I just love the feel of it. We go there reasonably often. Greenway is lovely too, beautiful grounds.
    Trying to figure out a whole new life. Trying to figure out a whole new budget.
    Divorcing, unclear on final debt total right now, but focusing on building a financial buffer zone.

    As you say no harm done and a girl is allowed to look :)

    Glad to hear you are inching your way back to health.
    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

    Emergency fund 800/1000
    Buffer fund 0/100
