The latest thing we did was to get rid of one of the cars. We kept two at our last house as we were in the middle of nowhere and didn't fancy being stuck if we only had one and it was off the road. Now that there is a regular bus that goes past the front gate and it's only a mile to the nearest Co o...

We moved here about 6 months ago and, joy of joys, the house has a pantry. All the non-fridge/freezer food is stored in there. I had to put a small step in too so I can reach the top shelf.

He said in no circumstances should we install a heat pump as our house was far too leaky for it to have any effect. We went for wood fired heating. Our ...

Remember Jenny, the easiest way to get rid of temptation is to give in to it. I think that was Oscar Wilde.

Is your power back on yet? The only "problem" we had was the recycling bin blowing over just before I got up (according to Mr A). The dog had a short walk along the road as I did not fancy dodging falling tree branches. Coming home was a bit more difficult. I will inspect the damage tomorr...

When my mum moved into her current house, my brother put a camera in the front window so she could tell who was at the door before answering. When she answered the door to two men one day, when one started speaking to her the other said, "Is that a camera?" When she replied in the affirmat...
