With mum and my stepfather moving house and downsizing they are trying to get rid off as many things as possible, and being the National Day and another Bank Holiday right in the middle of the week my stepfather saw the chance to drive over with an antique secretaire and captain’s chair that come from my dad’s family. Both beautiful pieces of furniture that always been standing the in the hall and is very much part of my childhood. Especially the chair which back then was huge. As a teenager, getting mad or something, I managed to knock over the chair and the back cracked. Guess who then was in trouble?!
I put both pieces in the bedroom replacing an old set of drawers that I got from my Gran when I moved into my first own flat. I’m a bit surprised how well it turned out and I have to say that finally my bedroom looks like a bedroom for an adult. No white and girly stuff any more. I’m a big girl now!
Going through the drawers I probably throw away half the stuff in there. I can’t believe that one drawer was full of bags from shops I’ve visited on my travels. Why in the world have I kept those? In another drawer I found all my old diaries, which I didn’t dare to have a look at, but of course did keep. Maybe another time. Also old birthday cards and postcards went straight into the bin.
So here I am feeling sort of relived and happy after finally having gone through all that stuff and somehow also closed another door to the past. Life is here and now and I’m very much a grown up woman.
