I'd been dreaming about a wooden swing seat for a long time. At first we didn't enough room. Then we didn't have enough money! Luckily I found this great second hand wooden swing seat which I absolutely love. It only cost me 76 bucks, which isn't a lot for this kind of swing. Now I...

After plouging my way through the first three seasons, I had finally found a good reason to keep watching Game of Thrones: Jaime Lannister. Game of Thrones: lots of political backstabbing in the dark For those of you who don't know Game of Thrones: it's an HBO series with lots of violence, sex and about...
The good thing of having an attic full of stuff, is that it's like having your own little thrift shop! Look what I found yesterday. This little, frilly children's dress. I put it in the washing machine, and when it came out I hung it in a tree to dry. It looked so joyful, gently...
