One of our neighbours has this rather nice way of displaying his gardening tools.
I had a walk down the lane in the sunshine & spotted them.
Three good things:
1. I have sold both things I put on the local market selling app. I have spent some of the money already on a folding clothes airer...there is some concern in our house about the lack of the Aga....
2. I have had a bit of an emotional hour going through my mums things out of her desk. Her will, odd notes she had written including one to all of us her four children to be opened on her death....loads of sympathy cards...it’s hard throwing some of them out but I was reminded of how she loved us all so good memories.
3. Roast chicken etc for evening meal tonight.
You will miss your Aga Pat! I've been sometimes with and sometimes without through various house moves and I know how much I value one. However you will get used to it. Sad sorting through your Mother's things but I'm sure you've kept the very special items. Love this scene. A keen gardener no doubtx
Beautiful rural display. So sorry for the tough clear out there. These things are very emotional to go through. Enjoy your roast chicken. We are about to eat sausages and yorkshire pudding!
A neat tidy garden - but it does remind me of the toilet at the end of the garden with its white washed walls ! So difficult stirring up those special memories -, but time comes when these things have to be done ! - Enjoy your chicken dinner - cooked our chicken since coming home - shall have it warm with side salad and b&b - no cooking tonight !
But why is that big stone in front of the doorway? Whats in the shed? I've got boxes of my Mum's stuff and don't like to throw it out but who wants it?
@maggiemae Exactly maggie. I messaged around family first but no one wanted anything I wasn’t keeping...there comes a time! I’ve kept the important stuff! This place us very small, I have no idea what’s inside...I never noticed the door when I was taking a photo.
@thistle01 Yes keen gardeners... the jury is out on the Aga, luckily we are living in the house for three months so van see how warm it gets as it faces south & will eventually have big windows. @samae
@casablanca My mum died in 2004 so not a recent loss but it’s surprising how it all comes back to you....I have kept everything she wrote on but thrown out sympathy cards etc. We had Yorkshire pudding too!
I had an emotional time when I scanned and cleaned up my old photos of Mum and other family members to put them in a photobook. It is amazing how emotional you can get Photoshopping a photo of your great grandparents who you never met.

My mother died in 2000. A large box full of things that belonged to her is still waiting to be sorted out...
