Blowy, but so lovely to see the sun shining

It really is so lovely to see the sun shining for a second day in a row. I have put another line of washing out to dry and I love the fresh smell when comes back in.

The daffodils are starting to bloom and is is so lovely to see there beautiful yellow blooms after all the storms. I am really surprised there withstood the winds








It really sends hope for the spring being on its way.

I have moved

I have decided to move from word press to blogger.

For anyone wanting to see old posts this is the word press site.  I tried to export the blog to here but was unsuccessful https://livingfrugallyonaisland.wordpress.com/


Finally found someone to help

 It has been months of searching if not years to get someone to cut some of our trees back but then they just knocked on our door.  Whilst I...
