Wednesday was quite a cluttered day here in the Vicarage. Jolly left for a new safe home, and the Vicar spent the morning with him, the Hope for Justice team, and CID. As you do. Meanwhile, I was with the team running our monthly soup lunch. For a chilly February day we served Melrose lentil soup and an approximation of Spiced Root Soup. There were also whole orange cakes for afters. And then our dear friend Song came to spend her day off with us and so Wednesday disappeared with rather a lack of attention to the mess.
Pleasingly, today’s rummage in the boys’ bedroom meant I could knock out 3+4 items easily. Look! Lots of picture books that haven’t been read for quite some time. And I’m not even going to hold some of them back for later in the month – I’ve barely started with the book shelves in there.

The root soup sounds yummy – will be making it this weekend! My decluttering is not going quite so well but I do have a box for the charity shop so will be heading there tomorrow – thank you for the motivation!
Smug self satisfaction at decluttering is motivating me to finally declutter our house from stuff left behind by daughters. Your childhood home is not a self storage facility.
Good point. What do I need to collect?!
Oooh, perhaps I need to remove some of the junk filing up my old bedroom while I’m visiting parent’s this weekend…though I could avoid doing it 😒
Don’t let my Dad read this!! I’m constantly being nagged to clear out my stuff from my old room and the loft!
