A tidy life

Eau de Vie! probably featuring Esso (deceased) who had a very strange habit (but was very nice about it!



I wish I had a tidy life but as it is I tend to collect things and hoard them in heaps, personal heaps, tidy heaps, teetering heaps and there they stay until their metamorphis to "things that go in the loft"

These two cartoons are the type of things that can be found in heaps, they were a parting gift from a guest and hoarded in the office for many years, a treasured snap shot of life at Ednovean Farm in the 90's, they had eventually been filed flat for safety with thankyou letters, until we reached the point of no return in the office and a days heap sorting was deemed necessary.

Not that this was a single pronged approach - oh no - first we emptied the loft as we had vowed and declared we would and "take the lot to a charity shop" The resulting muddle had formed very big heaps indeed and only the impending approach of visitors who may like to use the room motivated us into action this weekend.

"Shelves for the loft, would be an advantage in such circumstances" I thought and bought several flat pack versions................then added some stacking boxes too.......... that looked very useful things.

And we sorted and examined, perused and reminisced until eventually we had a heap for the Marazion charity shop, three bin bags for the local tip and the we carefully repacked the rest into the see through stacking boxes and put them back into the loft.

And so feeling suitably worthy we have reaffirm our attachment to our dubious detritus and stacked it ever so neatly away again. Well just for another year until we are feeling stronger perhaps...........the office looks pretty good though!





"...is it french" Sooty does prefer a british cox's apple if asked but he could have been more polite!
