One of the things i have done this fall is similar to making candles, Freda. I have made soap balls out of left-over soap chips...call me frugal, call me silly...but these small ways of honoring the earth and not being wasteful feel very good to me.

I put left over soap around favourite plants to keep the deer off. It works!

Your list fills me with delight and has made me notice a big gap in my life. I love my lists and was so happy one day Iast week when I managed to put a tick at every task. Make a list of things I want to do, hmmm? Well the gardening (16) I can certainly do and I would enjoy many other things on your list but making up a list for myself has me at a bit of a standstill. So much easier to find things that must be done. Maybe first thing on my list is to make a list. I hope you manage to do lots of yours and enjoy every one and will think of you in the hammock on starry nights.

What about a list of just four or five this year Sheena? And perhaps you'd share them here? I have found if I write them down they are very likely to happen!

Thank you for your invigorating & encouraging lists for the Winter, Freda.
As my 'try something new', I took part in a sauerkraut fermenting workshop, with a lovely group, in Wells.

Enjoy reading your list. My list is progressing pretty slowly---only a couple of things so far.

Think your 20 ideas are a wonderful mix of small scale achievable and grander things. Looking forward to hearing about each as you tick them off your list. I would like to try your suggestions for night sky watching and for gardening (but I am still wary of making lists!!!) Love the photo of Poppy .Has she been reading your new Log Fires book?!

Yes she's a great reader. She's going to make the recipes too!
