Community is nice #diary

Just caught up with my tail. I’ve been back in Leeds, seeing my son for his birthday. Painting my neighbours, who both work in higher education. (No wonder the children love them so much.) Then, getting excited about lovely new things in the area. I love community. It’s often on our doorstep, we find love. We can be anywhere and get involved, when we look around at our immediate environment.

It’s what makes me happiest!

I am going to the local junk shop soon as I want to turn vinyl albums into place mats and get tiles cut for coasters. Making a small effort gives our Love Nests that special touch. Then, I’m cooking!

Evie’s had her hair done. She is a wriggler, never sits still. Full of beans. Groomer said “it’s like trying to style a rabbit on acid.” Bless! Haha …

simple love

I have two grown up sons. They don’t see much of one another. They are very different. I love them both the same. I often tell them, ” watch out for each other – as, your mum won’t always be around.” That “life is short, I am proud of you.”

Personally speaking, I have found in life, people who encourage and insight arguments are not friends. Instead, seeking drama ‘often’ lacking in their own lives. Keep it simple. Keep it tight.

Here’s a photograph of some fairy lights I bought for Annona in Wales. They can flash on and off too which will be nice for Christmas. We all need a bit of light and fun in our lives, don’t you think!

squirrel woman #DIY #junk #diary

I am supposed to be de-cluttering and moving on to the next room but I cannot stop making little corners in my kitchen! I have even bought a small piece of net curtain to cover a window that would have taken ages to make a blind for. It looks awful but I sort of love it! I think it’s Autumn to blame? I start to gather things in. Then … when Spring comes I start afresh. (Perhaps I am a squirrel type person?) Also I have 2 fridges in the kitchen. It is a long story, you have to walk around one to get to the cooker. I will get there in the end.

The picture with the hearts on is not my taste but I found it so it come home with me! I love nesting. Oh well, just going with it. People can be so complicated, junk is a different matter.
