Clearance

The last few days we’ve been pulling together things that we no longer need, and that we think can be used, or will be treasured by someone else. That’s to say we’re going to make a trip to the charity shop, to help us clear out our cupboards and our minds. It’s always so satisfying when you have a sort out, and ours was way overdue.

We put together some rather nice stuff, that I would imagine people would be happy to find and purchase, and we set off for recyclorient — our local recycling plant with a charity shop on the side. Such a brilliant idea.

There was just a little problem though, after we’d dropped our car load off to a very grateful man, We realised they had a special room set up selling just books! Neither of us could resist, so unfortunately we came home with a bit more stuff — 2 French cookbooks for me, a wine book and jazz book for Brian, and he also found a beautiful old book of French after dinner anecdotes. So much for the clear out, Hey-ho!
