One box of knitting needles kindly gifted by my mum’s friend (you can see it in the top right!)
One cat oh so happy to sit next to me (who is now firmly planted on my knee…!)
A favourite blanket to snuggle up with
An evening with an old friend, catching up with the old and new
A highly anticipated book on it’s way to my home
A song to enjoy and daydream to (it’s seriously becoming a fast favourite!)
Daydreams of puppies and allotments and all things that await…
And my soul feels good!
May yours feel good too, on this wet & rainy eve!
Oh it just looks so cozy! Enjoy your relaxing evening. You seem to work so hard so you deserve it!
i am glad you are finding your peace
A lovely list of things to be enjoy and be thankful for!
I’m glad you’re enjoying the cool weather. It looks quite cozy.
Aaaaaaah ….. how soothing …. have you made use of those knitting needles yet?
lol NO Sandie I’m sitting here looking at them, in wonder…
are they really for me?
why do they come in so many different sizes?
what will I do with them all?
lovely cosy post! I can recommend Elizabeths (making good use) pattern for fingerless mitts! so easy to make and cosy warm too!
Catz I’ll try that, thank you!
Thrilled to have found your blog and to be able to read about your life which is so interesting especially because of your young age. You have really accomplished so much so young.
Your downshifting is amazing, your goals seem to be focused so much on others and giving rather than yourself which is always a good thing and something very few money blogs seem to accomplish.
I think you are headed towards brilliant things, a great life and a lot of joy.
Keep up the good work!
Oh yes, I do think you should really seriously consider writing, you need to market yourself and believe you can do it but from spending an hour on this blog I can see you have a talent. Good Luck!
Lovely list. I’m feeling soothed just reading it.
I hope you have a blessed weekend.
My soul is trying to feel as good as it can do with how naff I feel. But thinking of Devon has cheered me up. Have a lovely weekend.. x
Hi there-carry on enjoying your weekend!
Don’t you just love rainy days? I adore them, real rain really beating down, with dark clouds surounding you, snuggled up in bed with a book or a really old film (good murder movie), hot home made soup and lots of chocolate. Looks out side, bright blue sky, bugger!!!
Thanks for you comment am fine just hurt my back and found it hard to sit for long time. hope you ok fiona

Ah – if you have yet to discover the delights of knitting, you are in for a treat. I’m not a clever knitter, but have just started dishcloths, and recently made my freezing-at-Uni-in-the-North daughter a lovely lap throw (on my blog).
Still aghast at how frugally you live. We are in the middle of nowhere, so I have a well-stocked store cupboard for those days when we can’t get out due to flooding or living half way up the Cresta Run!
