She's a funny character - I'm chuffed she's come around and has softened over the years, but blossoming, well, we will see!

I find friendships hard. I know is because of how I was treated as a kid and there's no getting over that rejection. I'm always second guessing. But I'm always wanting connections - no suprise, I'm on

When are you in London?

Fun. FYI, I fly into UK on 20th Feb. Let me get over jet lag for a few days and maybe we can organise a meet after that. What did we agree on last time - was it Wells? Please let it be Wells. :P

Oh, please always update - we appreciate it. I always think if there's an apocalypse, we will need defences against the dogs - there's so many of them post Covid, and what happens when their owners die?

Oh gosh, @livinguktaiwan just nudged me here - I had no idea. Goodness. She must know how loved she is here, and I hope some of that love goes her way to give her strength.

Some people can be pains in the kitchen. I empathise with the wife. :P Every culture seems to have it's version of a potato 'cake' or rissole. Rosti are delicious.

I guess it's similiar to carrot in texture, but it's a bit earthier. It can be quite sweet when roast. If you generally like veggies, I think you'd like it!

Depression takes a lot of strength to haul out of. I dont think it's easy by any means. I'm glad you found a way.

I dont get why people throw them away! I think a spicey tomato chutney may have been better but still, it was yummy.

Oh man, cheese is why I'm not vegan and never will be. I dont eat a LOT Of it but I sure think life's too short not to enjoy it.

One box at a time! Love your work. Minimalising is such good therapy.

Oh my god, I so hear this. I did it years ago. Burned the lot. Ugh. It's just not us anymore. ANd maybe we start getting rid of physical things as we know sooner than later we're going to disappear into

e decided to get a couple of car loads of, among other things , building- and fire wood, chicken wire/ fencing, roof tiles, barrels etc. love free stuff! Fantastic. They'll all come in handy by the looks!

I'm sorry you're going through a tough time. I know you know it can only get better. Sometimes the paint's gotta crack to show the real beauty.

Please don't use Ai to write comments on my posts.

I do hope it all happens sooner than later for you and Lily xx

Thanks! It's so fun working in a small space. I just wish Jamie was home more to help me!

Thanks! I do love it and I'm constantly trying to make it better.

oh no, you can't. Delightful dogs.
