This is my slow, simple life living alone in my 50s in the Greek countryside, on a small budget — and today I finally made myself a garden sanctuary. After almost two years in a Greek cottage, I turned the empty space between my French doors into a peaceful little seating area for slow living, built mostly from repurposed and upcycled pieces.
Come along for a quiet day of DIY in the cottage garden: an old vintage sewing table given a new life, a bench made from an old bed frame, a trellis with flowers, and everything painted in my favourite pastel green. Proof that beautiful doesn't have to mean expensive — and a simple, lovely place to sit alone with a coffee and a book.
If you love slow living, vintage style, cottage gardens, and the quiet beauty of building a life alone, settle in and subscribe — there's always a place for you here.
