How sweet. Thanks for sharing~

I think a bargain is only a bargain if its something that you need or was going to buy whether on offer or not, if you didnt need it becomes an impulse buy. I agree that buying quality from new can be deemed frugal if the item bought is destined to be used, worn, or needs to be reliable on a freque...

I agree that good quality is better than cheap quality.
I shop the charity shops where I get good quality at low cost.

Thanks for the photos. You are living the life we would love to live.

You should spray after winter because of insects and oil based sprays are the best.

Mix 1 pint of cooking oil with 8oz of liquid soap or insecticidal soap.
Bring to a very careful boil.
Mix again and bottle when cooled.
Mix with 20 parts water before spraying onto fruit trees, conifers and shrubs

They really seemed to have enjoyed that!

Ilona, your hair looks fantastic.
I used the mirrors, like you, years ago, to learn to french braid my own hair.
I trim my own hair and my husband highlights it for me @ £20 per year.
I haven't been to a salon in 20 years.

That's a very nice piece of land, Marc.
I think it's exciting what you have done, following your heart.
I'm interested in how you live; cooking, heating, etc.
