Lots of good ideas in here. Thank you

Accepted an offer on my papa's house. This means having to get on with emptying it. Which I know I should do. But a. Effort and b. Effort. And also, C. Effort. Nevertheless, needs must.

Reading this right now. And I can see I should have started it earlier in the day because I can't stop now. Top notch stuff! Will keep me awake tonight and probably for several nights to come

I will do so next time I'm at Dad's house! There are four fireplaces and an old chimney pot outside. I'm going to check them all!

Maybe! I just don't know! I like this idea though!

When my pa died last year, he left 12 envelopes, one for each month. September's included a birthday gift. I opened it yesterday. It's Clare's 'The Shepherd's Calendar.' Inside the book was an envelope & a piece of paper with one word on it, 'Chimney'. I don't know what it means!
A copy of A Shepherd's Calendar, two envelopes - one saying Precious Daughter, and one with the initials PD. And a piece of paper saying one word,'chimney'

Birthday yesterday. Thank you to everyone who sent kind wishes and thoughts in various forms and via various media! It was a truly lovely day!
Books flowers cards and a needlefelt hedgehog. Perfect combination of merry gifts. The backdrop is an untidy kitchen.

Beautiful flowers. Silver teapot. Doing what they do best.

One of the many awesome things about retrieving things from my papa's house is all the interesting things I find. Here's the eiderdown I had as a kid. The central 'cells' need restitching and the down redistributed (fantastic lumps), but I still love the colours
An eiderdown with a faded pale blue, yellow, and red paisley pattern.

He was a total sweetheart. I was incredibly lucky to have him as a dad.

He always called me that. It's really lovely. I can hear him saying it
