After sorting through and making decisions about my much-loved mum's things a few years ago, I developed a new attitude towards my own "stuff". I've definitely become more of a minimalist since. Recently, I decided to make a banana loaf. To my dismay, I realized I'd accidently disposed of my only loaf pan in a recent kitchen purge. I had a moment of regret about that darn loaf pan but ended up making banana muffins instead. It served as a reminder that a flicker of regret over a loaf pan will never compare to the daily satisfaction I get from my newly purged and organized kitchen. So even though Simon's clean out was bloody awful, one day you might discover that it's given you a new super power.

I was sorry to hear your mother's craft skills were discarded, until I saw them.<br />I think it was only last year we dealt with Mother's detritus at her former home. We were quite ruthless, even though she is still alive. What she doesn't know or remember won't matter, and it hasn't. <br />Wilberforce??? Ah yes, I remember him now. What a grand monument to him.<br />We can all be victims of wrong place at the wrong time. Life can suddenly stop.<br />I'm sure Mrs YP has been an absolute rock. <br />All good photos, as I have come to expect.

Have just put my father's school and church book prizes in a pile for recycling. Have kept two. They all have labels in the front saying why they were awarded but none have any value. At least I have time to take photos to keep.
