I feel that I'm in very good company as the wife of a collector of things that might prove useful some day. Some days I wish we had more space so I would feel so cramped and crowded, but reading this, I'm grateful that it is a small space so that there can't be more!! Love your stories! My grand-daughter's name is Rosie.

You are lucky to have only a small space to fill Therese, I just want to cry every time I set foot in our huge barn and I worry terribly for my children and the mess that will be left behind when we are gone. Every year I try to persuade my husband that enough is enough but every year more ‘stuff’ arrives… it’s a living nightmare! Groundhog Day!

Thank you so much for your wonderful support. I live the name Rosie, my daughters full name is Ella-Rose but she has been Rosie from the day she was born… xx

Lovage was put in a locket to attract a husband in Victorian England... I put it in just about everything else... but it’s a pleasing thought....

Thank you for reading this weeks adventures Darren 🍃

I’m so glad you enjoyed reading about our epic clean up Carole... it would have made hilarious viewing had there been a camera hidden somewhere I’m sure... the arguments as to usefulness of so many items were constant but we girls were tough to beat for once..!

Bravo my Sweet Susie and Rosie! You've finally accomplished "mission impossible"! I know the feeling, to be rewarded with a blissful sense of lightness after a good clearing. Junk is the bane of a minimalist. I thoroughly enjoyed your stories, as always. Love n light!

Thank you my sweet soul, You would have been impressed at our ruthlessness! We were brutal dustbin bag wielding warriors determined to win a long fought battle! And darn, it felt good and even better, I can face heaving open those huge doors without wanting to cry! 😅

Love and light forever darling, thank you for your blessed support always xxxx

Wonderful post Susie, comparing one self to others is so easily done and so often has some kind of negative impact.

Oh and those mirabells!!! They look delicious, I'm rather jealous😆

Thank you Pippa, I wish I could send you some of those plums, they have been so abundant this year and are incredibly delicious, we have eaten them almost every day for the last month... 🤭 I will not be making the mistake of comparison (no matter what the subject in question) ever again either... It really does have leave a most negative mood... x

I wish! We have some from the shop but they don't taste the same as straight from the tree
