48 years of stuff...

Today was the day for 'reduce, reuse, recycle' - 48 years of accumulation that Mum has managed to keep track of since my move to America, 11 years ago.  Did I mention boxes?  The hardest thing to decide about are all the childhood books that belonged to me, my brother and even my daughter! The handwritten names, special birthdays etc just make them too hard to part with (my earliest one was aged 23 months and it is Popeye).  The other hard thing is my mother needs a new broom (see pic below!).  We're on the way to the couriers tomorrow to figure out how much it costs to ship some stuff over...watch this space!

Green Acres is the place for me...

Roast chicken for tea last night - yum!

Cheese scones for lunch - hard to beat!  Was a great day for a walk around the neighbourhood with Mum and Jessie (her poodle).  The houses are great - some art deco and some just older places with cool designs. 

..and THAT, people,  is how a cup of tea should be drank!
