money talks

This year for the first time in a very long time I didn’t make my own personalised fits-me-just-right diary. I bought one. For the pictures.
There is a photo of an embroidery or quilting project on half of every double page spread, which has served both to inspire and to add a little beauty to my every-day-life.
On the other page at the bottom is a wee quote. Here’s a sampling and *here* is the link to our own page of quotable quotes happened upon in our travels.

Don’t be afraid to take a big step if one is indicated. You can’t cross a chasm in two small jumps. David Lloyd George

Mix a little foolishness with your serious plans: it’s lovely to be silly at the right moment. Horace

Nothing will ever be attempted if all possible objections must first be overcome. Dr Samuel Johnson

If you enjoy what you are doing you can always find time for whatever you want to do. W.G.P.

Budget: a mathematical confirmation of your suspicions.
(and here are links to the how can you afford it? page and the prices page and the sponsors pag – coz that’s all about budget!)

a month old

Tuesday, September 11th, 2007
Pilgrims' Progress is a month old. Time to celebrate! So far 798 *unique* people have visited, stopping off at 6233 pages. Now that may not sound like much in comparison to how many visitors Bill Gates or Brad Pitt get, but they have ... [Continue reading this entry]

what if?

Monday, September 10th, 2007
what if we can't find a caravan when we get to England? The European part of our trip hinges on being able to find one at a reasonable price....and a van......preferably within a few days of each other.....most likely on ... [Continue reading this entry]

BORING BOOKS (a scandalous suggestion!)

Friday, September 7th, 2007
Books may not be boring, but the titles of my online bookshelves are certainly lacking in the inspiration stakes. All of my blogs have bookshelves, and not one of them bears an interesting title. There's Garden Reads on Up ... [Continue reading this entry]

dash for cash or crash with hash….is there more to life?

Thursday, September 6th, 2007
I've been hanging round a bit on the Boots-n-all travel fora, asking my fair share of questions, occasionally having something to add to discussions. I have noticed a bit of an obsession with travel - not surprising, I suppose;-) ... [Continue reading this entry]

Tuesday, September 4th, 2007
We've been reading aloud some Hans Christian Andersen classics this week, and today picked up a simple biography to learn a little more about The Man. "At the age of fourteen, Hans climbed aboard a coach clutching a bundle of clothes. ... [Continue reading this entry]

round the world in 80 clicks

Monday, September 3rd, 2007
I was never going to use cliche titles! It seems I caved on only my thirteenth post. Anyway, this one is just to say: Someone was asking if there was an easy way to get back to my original page after they had ... [Continue reading this entry]
