Perfecting jam
Good ripe fruit filled to the brim with all the flavour and colour you can find. A good recipe that has been handed down from someone that knows what they are doing and a smidge (as my Mum calls it a ‘trace’) pot butter to get rid of any jam scum. SCUM! It’s a jam thing!
Calling off a wedding
If you have to do it, as in you KNOW in your heart and guts that it’s not going to work JUST DO IT. Don’t think about what people will think, or say, about the cost of the heartache involved it’s far better to deal with that now at the expense of YOU and your happiness. People will forget soon enough and I guarantee that you will be HAPPY eventually. It’s hard, but anything worth while doing in life is.
Moving to the country
Throw yourself into life…never turn down an invitation to anything as you never know who you will meet. Get your hands dirty and help out as much as you can – country communities desperately need new blood and people willing to help. It’s exhausting at times, but worth it in the end.
Would like advice on
How do you untrain your brain/mindset after a whole life of doing something one way? I would love to be more carefree and relaxed about everything…I find myself continually caught up in things that just DON’T MATTER,
Best advice received?
It’s none of your business what people think of you.
