Silence
"A meaningful silence is always better than meaningless words."

This is the space set aside for silent contemplation at Hidcote Gardens where we went back in the summer.

Thrifty Saturday
Food storage and thrifty ways to achieve it. I haven't bought clingfilm or freezer bags for more than 20 years. The only times I've ever bought ziplock bags was when we needed them for the rare occasion when we fly....these are then washed out and used until they're no longer fit for purpose [then recycled]. This is just what I do...gnat bottomed by name gnat bottomed by nature😁 I've found that the bags which house breakfast cereal make fabulous freezer bags [they're also good for separating burgers when you want to freeze them and not have them end up in one big lump]. They're sturdy and keep the contents from going dry. When it comes to securing the top I have some bag ties, but I also keep the ties which come with the coffee bags, bits of stray garden wire, clothes pegs and even cutting the top of the plastic bag and then wrapping it round the neck works. Clingfilm. If I have to wrap something then I use foil and then, as every other thrifty person I know,

That's beautiful. One of my favourites is to only say something if you can improve upon the silence.
ReplyDeleteI retreat to my bedroom upstairs when things get too much for me, it's nice and quiet up there and it revives me to keep going.

Just quietly looking.
ReplyDeleteI went on a silent retreat once, for a weekend. When you remove speaking, a lot of distractions are removed from your day. At the end of the weekend, I felt refreshed, as if I'd been gone for a month. Note: out on a solitary walk, I wound up discovering a pond on the monastery, and I walked through the tall grass to get there. I was attacked by a goose. Temporarily, I forgot my vow of silence.
