After leaving my fabulous job where I spent 13 years travelling out of the country once an month and now returning from six months delightful holiday around the globe  - I finally intend to spend some well earned time at home. 

I'm going to try being a domestic goddess for a change. On my travels and during my ample free time I have drawn up a long list of TO DO'S - including:

learning to play the guitar and read music
up grading my cooking skills - particularly Indian and Italian foods - oh and not to forget making pickles....
starting my own vegetable garden and not letting it die!
spending more time with my friends and family
picking up my old sewing habits

I have heard from friends who have 'retired' that time seems to disappear - so this blog is my attempt to keep a record of my efforts and more importantly my results - or is trying enough? 

So lets see how I get on.
