There are many different ways to live frugally BUT..."Any fool can rough it"...as we were often told by a good friend.

We take great pleasure in saving on the essentials in order to pay for the luxuries. We try to do this by foraging, growing as much as our food as we can, making things  and living cost effectively.

We took early retirement and bought a house in a small vineyard village in the South of France with the intention of living a simple healthy lifestyle.
