We are slowly finding homes for items we don’t want to keep. Our dearly beloved sofa of twenty years has just been collected by its new owners leaving a large, empty space in our living room. We had wanted to give it to Horsham Matters, a local charity, but any fire retardant labels that the sofa had once had were sadly not to be found, and without them it could not be sold on. Luckily, there was nothing to stop us giving it away so it has found a new home via Freecycle. We must remember to look on Freecycle when we return to the UK as we might have impoverished ourselves by that time!
Elder son, Guy, has taken our microwave and food processor (now have to chop by hand). Younger son, Alasdair, is keen for our vacuum cleaner which is ironic as he’s never been that keen to use it here! He will have to wait until we are out of the house though as we want to leave the place spick and span for our new buyers.
Better get on and sort through some more books.
