Thank you to The Doily for this xcellent X, which I have been using as a home for my needles. I have started creating a sewing kit, and I love that your gift kicked it off.
Thank you to The Lark for the goodie showbag you gave me when I came to visit your shop. This button badge was my favourite thing of all. We are so lucky to live in this town, which may be one of the reasons I am OK about giving up air travel. If our lives here sucked, maybe we wouldn't be so ready to say no to going elsewhere??I moved here because my older sister Kate and her family live here. It's Kate's birthday today. Hope you had a great day, Katchka!
It breaks and I wonder why I don't just buy a new one. But I love how you fix it and present it to me anew each time. That it has a history of its own that I can wear.

Lots to be thankful for and happy about in this post. And yes, what a great place to live! x
Oh Miss meg, what a lovely rednesday post.
you make me want to move.
I am always told that to live in the country I need to learn how to drive a car, not own and run one but drive one..
I have travelled the world over and over and never driven, enough people drive, I have a bike, there are trains and buses, boats, planes and my feet.. always my feet. ( Blessed be the shoemakers)
.. I have often questioned, in the face of social adversity, some of the things I do, am I giving up before even starting? Couldn't i just try to fit in? but the more I think about how I do things in terms of the phrase 'environmentally,' it validates my decisions.
(In regard to your last post)
Giving up red meat -tick
Giving up supermarkets-tick
Giving up food w chemicals-tick
Choosing local produce-tick
Giving up new things-hmmm, I am writing on a new computer but my phone et al are second hand.
Carrying a basket, owning a balcony worm
farm, composting, recycling, buying things in glass
-its all about forming habits, creating new routines, I cant tell you in the store how many people say,
Oh my bags are in the car!!! but I cant castigate them every time for it, they could be at the supermarket shopping instead of with us.
We are surprisingly so slow moving in a Crazy fast paced world .
Not attending by not flying to exhibition as an environmental stand- brilliant,
Not flying when the flights are free-even better
but giving up flying all together,
I dont know if I could.
Being conscious of how I get about on the planet- tick. but is it enough, probably not.
You guys are inspiring, generous with how you open up your world and for that I praise the internet..perhaps once we would have met traveling somewhere or perhaps because of the travel we have done we met here, like this.
You are always a nomad Meg
just by the very way you think
Happy rednesday . X
