In the last few months I have had so many new experiences, and my life has changed so much and I really love my new life! I thought I'd share some of these new experiences with you all.
So in the last few months I have...
Become self employed and opened my own business
Shared a bed with a wall lizard - long story!
Painted a bathroom ceiling
Sowed seeds in my first ever greenhouse
Used a full size tractor and log splitter
Bought money on the "markets" - well through a finance company anyway and not a huge amount of money either, but it still counts
Learnt to drive a garden tractor
Finished knitting a jumper I started about 10 years ago
Designed my first ever dress - now to make it up!
Undertaken telephone conversations in French - quite an achievement believe me!
Sanded down and painted with hammerite a small boat anchor

Oiled the wood for the bathroom sink unit
Watched a sparrowhawk chase, but not catch, a small bird in our garden
Seen wild boar and coypu in the wild
Used a rotavator for the first time ever
Knitted a baby cardigan for the neighbours new grandson
Drank apero's with the neighbours, more than once!
