I spend virtually nothing on my house, and very little on my garden. I don't plan too far ahead, no one knows what's round the corner.

I 'officially' share my garden with several other flats, but noone else really uses it. Downside is that i have a large space to upkeep myself, but far outweighing that is the pleasure of having lots of lovely plants & flowers to view, and a tiny veg plot for the odd handful of whatever i plant.

Your video is so friendly , it makes me feel like you are talking to your best friend. Like you, I live alone, so I really appreciate your videos. Have a lovely day.

I googled something on crochet, and up you popped, top of the list, with crochet underneath. I'm not sure if I found the actual video you posted about the cat born with only two legs, but I found some of a cat called Anakin who is probably the same one.
