We have one month to go beforeleaving for RSA. Before that we have to get through all the emotional farewells from this parish and the down-sizing of our accumulated chattels. Today my large desk, acquired in 1977 in Walworth for something like £25, was taken away by a nice young couple after Emma advertised it on freecycle. Yesterday Emma's wardrobe went the same way. Wonderful to have the space that such removals give to our house.
Gradually our garden is being raided by family and friends and plants taken away - much like the end of the Chelsea Flower Show! It feels good that these treasured plants will find new homes.
So we have another week of "lasts" to look forward to as we say a prolonged goodbye to Thatcham.
