Welcome to my Blog
Happy New Year to you all. Hope you had a great Christmas and wonderful new year.
Here is a lovely photo of our frontage lined with these majestic looking Red Hot Pokers. We haven't watered these so it's amazing
to see so many flowers.
One Tonne Challenge Update
Just Updated my One tonne Challenge- Now have harvested
39.4Kg of produce.Here is Fred the rooster Crowing
Did we all make resolutions?. I made one about consuming less and trying not to rush around so I can enjoy the here and now more. So far I am living up to the consuming less- we bought a soda stream and have saved about 10 plastic bottles already. Also stayed at home ( bliss) for a day or 2 without going anywhere (saved some petrol) and sorted out some stuff and donated some toys , blankets and threw out some rubbish ( old toys broken , missing pieces). It made me think of how wasteful we are.
Do you know that sometimes when we want something, it the conquest in aquiring it and once it is aquired it no longer holds its appeal and soon we are pining after another object of our desires? Does this sound familiar? Do you know if you go to the after christmas sales, you are not really getting a bargain unless it is something that you need or wanted for a long time. Are you buying only because it was reduced to 50% off- in which case you have paid 50% too much.
I just love this time of year and how relaxing it is compared to the end of the year. This January I have been in business for 18months and I use this relaxing part of the year to plan whatI want to achieve for the year ahead. This year I hope to support more charitable causes through my handmade jewellery business and support other handmade artists. If you would like me to come and do a jewellery show at your office, please contact me and we can discuss how we can raise fund
s for your charity.
