Smaller homes .

Oh gosh, how true is this.

Living my new Smaller and Simpler life my wallet really is fatter.  

Helped out by lots of yellow sticker bargains and an Aldi in the nearest town.   Here are just a few of the things I picked up last week.  I loved that they were all necessities and not the 'junk food' you usually see on the reduced yellow sticker shelves.  Booths leave most of the foods in situ, so you find these treasures as you browse the store.  Potatoes, onions, bread rolls (still with days left, it was just that one roll had been squished at the end), apples and Roasted Vegetable Cous Cous .... which was delicious.

Here at the van I own less, much less.  It makes for easy living and quicker choices  ... and after a Summer of car-booting I hope to extend that to both homes.

Our relationship is brilliant, when we're apart we phone each other every day to chat, to laugh at fun things we've spotted or read, to see how the other is doing.  We spend quality time with each other when we are together, well if I can keep Alan awake at the van that is ... he chills out so much here he literally falls asleep at every opportunity.

We have all of the good times and none of the niggles.

The cleaning time here is so much shorter, just a five minute whizz round with the rechargeable vacuum each day, a wipe down of surfaces and a splash of cleaner in the toilets and that's it ... done.

And the fun times ... well they are just the icing in a rather splendid cake.
