Little house on a budget

This isn’t a ‘living on benefits’ blog but certainly about living on a very low income. It isn’t just a cooking blog either, although cooking will probably take centre stage. I don’t want to write about the things that are a problem because I want it to be a more uplifting piece of writing. More a case of how I am overcoming some of the problems I face. More Recipes and articles will appear as I make, grow, cook and photograph them. To learn more click on About this Blog below
