Simply..an unintended consequence....

..of taking a short break, is coming home with a slightly altered perspective on things......the lovely holiday lodge had absolutely no clutter, but everything that was needed. That may be why it was so relaxing.


So I have ready for the charity shops and the recycling centre -
two duvets
one large cushion
one pillow
one mug
one lamp
one large saucepan
four child buoyancy jackets
three adult buoyancy jacketst
wo pairs of flippers
six jumpers
five tops
two coats
one chair
one bookstand
twelve DVDs
various flowerpots, baskets and tins.....
and more.

But rain stopped play. The buses were cancelled, there were landlsides and flooding. I am grateful that my house is four feet off the ground but a neighbour in the glen closer to the river is not so lucky and his house is flooded to waist height.

I do hope you are waarm and dry.

I wrote the above yesterday, but the rain has eased a bit and all my things were collected today!
