I've decided to stop calling our decluttering "death cleaning" - a bit depressing. It's now Minimalising Monday; though if Mondays are too busy it can actually happen on another day. This Monday we took my mother's crystal bowl to a charity shop. It's been in our house since my lovely mum died in 2012, and I've never used it. I have several crystal bowls that I do use, and this one, because it's shallow, takes up a lot of space.
We've also arranged for a charity to come and collect the books we're getting rid of. They're coming on May 5, so we need to tackle the books in the other rooms before then. I love a deadline. And Mr L is decluttering his old cameras.
On Saturday we went on a lovely walk with the gang round Gosford House in East Lothian.
The weather was perfect.
Reflections.
Six miles, including walking along to the golf clubhouse for coffee overlooking the sea.
And then home on the bus.
My little cercis chinensis is looking good, with its tulip entourage.
Yesterday I was up town and admired the view from the bus stop.
And look at these frilly tulips in the garden! So pink. Lovely spring.
I adore those tulips! They are a beautiful color. Your walk looks idyllic. 6 miles, wow! I do about 2.5 most days. I like your change of name for the cleaning; it sounds like you're making a lot of progress.
