The plan!

So, a decision needed to be made, are we going to stay in our house, or are we selling up and living freely on our land....
We have decided to stay for now, however, we have our names down at a sailing port about 20 mins away, and have 2 years left to wait for a place - so it's a VERY good compromise. 
Just one thing, we'd better get saving up for a boat!
I found a renovation project (boat) last week, it was a 20m iron sailing boat, at a bargain price of 5k, no surprise it's been sold already!  However, I think our maximum size at the port is 15/16m, as we would have to moor at the pontoon rather than a buoy, as we have young children, so I must be sure not to get carried away when I'm looking, lol!

Recycling and gardening in one!

Well, we've not used the BBQ in ages as we don't eat meat (even though I bought it with the intention of cooking lots of lovely veggies burgers on it), and in the summer we prefer cold veg rather than roasted/BBQ'd veg, so....we have a new salad bar, lol!

This week hubby will be digging up some of the side garden so he can fill an old wheel barrow with soil (packing the hole with left over rubble from when we built the patio), and it will be filled with strawberry plants grown by his mum.  I need to crack on and get some rotavating done too as I've 200 young spring onions to put in, green beans, radish, carrots, and peas to sow, followed by a variety of herbs and some tomato plants to pot.  How I LOVE this time of year!
