I found a lovely beach today. I will certainly be going back when the weather is warmer.
When we moved to this house the previous owner had left an old settee in the garage. Unlike in England (where we would pop down to the tip with it) it is quite costly to get rid of things like this so I put my 'recycle, reuse' thinking cap on. I made a compost bin out of the framework, had some wood for the fire, and saved some material and cushions for use in the garden. I feel quite virtuous.
