Your lifestyle should not be something that folk feel the need to comment on as far as I am concerned your lifestyle is normal! Good to hear a happy story in the news for once. One about a happy lady just getting on with it. If you are ever in the north east, you have a place to stay at my home.

A great photo showing you and your fridge packed to the gun whales with fruit and veg too.

Attention doesn't need to be courted and then feelings will not be hurt. No one deserves the horribleness of the Daily mail readers, which in my view is why I would just go to earth. I am not sure why the need for more publicity. It seems the opposite of enjoyable. Celebrity is often not a nice thing.

I don't think I want to read the articles, because they'll probably only make me frustrated.<br /><br />I love your blog and all your beautiful artwork, especially the new flower-covered hanging basket. I'm in awe of your frugality and your creativity and your kindness to animals, and the reporters who are covering your story are probably just as clueless as a lot of the people reading it. It's the entire picture you present, not the little dribs and drabs that the media choose to put into a story, that is the real inspiration.Danielle Ste.

It was a shame they carried the inaccuracies from one news company article to another. Surely they meant there was no need for you to take a shopping list because you always bought what was available. You carry on being you. I think you are an inspiration for a lot of people.
