Great to meet you and don't quite re...Hi there,<br />Great to meet you and don't quite remember how I stumbled upon your blog but glad I did. My thinking is in line with yours in so many ways. My husband and I live a peaceful life on a yacht in the Bristol channel. We were sick of the mortgage mill and never having anything to call ours without owing some large corporate something. We upped sticks and bought a boat. No mortgage, no loans and every penny we make is ours, apart from the obvious taxes of course. There is a lot to be said for stepping off the treadmill.<br /><br />I wish you luck and happiness and look forward to your future adventures.<br />Dianne<br />YONKSYONKShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02659751063643621817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4652989316053170663.post-41518162560929328952012-08-21T20:48:10.844-07:002012-08-21T20:48:10.844-07:00The scare tale will be awesome.

I too moved from big city living to living in the sticks, at first I worked in my fancy nancy job in the metropolis and commuted to my bolt hole in the mountains. <br />10 years on, I'm married to my first true love with a beautiful daughter. We always live within our means, and both get great joy from living where we live and making do and mending. <br />Your blog looks right up my street. And your a man! in blogland! what a novelty.<br /><br />I'm your newest follower.Thrift Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07384788128253479325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4652989316053170663.post-57578261870395187812012-08-15T12:51:28.296-07:002012-08-15T12:51:28.296-07:00I loved Enid too.

She is a product of her time though, an era that had its own prejudices and ignorance and as long as we read her books with that in mind and point this out to our children then we will all be fine. <br /><br />I adored the Faraway tree and The wishing chair series.Eeekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03414831229655360486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4652989316053170663.post-90653978049944108632012-08-15T11:20:10.203-07:002012-08-15T11:20:10.203-07:00Another Enid Blyton filled childhood here, love th...Another Enid Blyton filled childhood here, love the framed book jacket :)dreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15569512066931951883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4652989316053170663.post-9136381899248583282012-08-15T10:28:01.354-07:002012-08-15T10:28:01.354-07:00Oo-er I'm frightened now!

I love the chinese items the best but the haunted horse draws my fancy mainly because of the ghostly story. I think items retain something of their previous owners and the stories they have to tell. I'm glad to seem Enid Blyton in the mix as I introduced my boys to her and I hope to introduce my grandchildren to her books x x x Holiday Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10320076613163370108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4652989316053170663.post-17979889317120371232012-08-15T10:08:28.883-07:002012-08-15T10:08:28.883-07:00The horse is my favourite...can't wait to hear...The horse is my favourite...can't wait to hear the spooky tale (though if you wait until Halloween...I'm just going to have to!).<br />Jane x<br />Jane and Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08102086552682194819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4652989316053170663.post-14174716798028680992012-08-15T09:30:49.483-07:002012-08-15T09:30:49.483-07:00I do get really cross with the equal opportunities...I do get really cross with the equal opportunities lot, like baa baa white sheep et al.
