I’ve started a big spring clean - every cupboard and drawer is being emptied, cleaned and re sorted - some I have totally changed around so just hope I remember where everything is. Things which I haven’t used for years are being culled to op shop or family.
A couple of years ago I inherited several bins of family memorabilia etc and Over time I have accumulated quite a bit too which I’m unearthing as I tidy and will hopefully get it all in one place for whoever eventually takes it over.
I have a small room which I use for my hobby stuff, kids toys etc and it is filling up with everything that will need sorting at some stage.
For a few years now I have been passing on things which have extra special significance to different family members with a note and/or a photo outlining the providence of the item.
I was given a delicate little bracelet that my grandmother was given on her wedding day, it was broken when I got it and I’d tried a couple of times to get it fixed without any success until I found an antique repairer in Wellington who had just purchased a new laser solder and he did a marvellous repair. That has gone to a niece who was the only girl of her generation with the same surname.
