I wrote a couple of months ago about how I found two nice mirrors in the rubble skip at the recycling centre when I went to get rid of some rocks. I am so sick of looking at this pile of rocks (from when we dug out our pond four...

Last autumn I stopped at a shop I don’t usually visit (because it isn’t that convenient, only I happened to be passing that day) and found they had a whole stack of jars of chestnut puree, reduced from £1.50 to 36p each. And the...

I promised to show you my completed macrame project – here it is.

This morning I had arranged to call on a friend first thing, but when I got there she wasn’t yet back from taking her children to school. Her husband invited me in and made me a coffee, then he told me that he was still only half...
