I keep my blog as a personal record of what I'm up to, which might be seen as working towards "An elegant sufficiency, content, retirement, rural quiet, friendship, books, ease and alternate labour, useful life"

I'm certainly not there yet.  There is quite some way to go!

and possibly the last opportunity to wear sandals.

I love the Autumn and look forward to wrapping up warm, snuggling under the duvet and sitting by the stove for a cosy evening at home.  I looked at my journal from last year and noted that we spotted the first leaves changing on September 2nd.   This year, all was still green, until the cold and almost frosty morning earlier in the week.  Now, there’s a distinct chill in the air and the washing comes in from the line feeling cold and damp.

Lesley, I agree that sometimes, it’s more fun to live the life than to journal it.  A quiet day at home today meant that both Mary and I were able to catch up and we are both now back on track.

Hi Gill, I've just read your blog and came to it via the Womens Institute web site. I'm planning a trip to the UK next year and would love to experience village life in a community that enjoys paper craft. Somewhere around Reading, Basingstoke or that area and would appreciate any suggestions by anyone as to a suitable place.
