Winter Flag

Happy Memories That Tell A Story

That time of the year has arrived and with spring just around the corner that can only mean one thing – it’s tidy up time.

A few days ago the sun was shining and lovely as it was, unfortunately this made our house show up all the layers of dust that had accumulated over the winter months. Therefore I made the decision that spring had arrived early in our home and it was time to start the annual clean.

It all began with all good intentions of me cleaning the house from top to bottom.   The kitchen was first on the list and that took longer than anticipated, so already I was flagging.   However I persevered and next on the list was clearing out the Utility room. In our house, this room in particular is one where everything gets shoved and then we close the door.   I hadn’t been working long when I stumbled across a load of cheap books that my mum had given to me.   This set me off and thinking about my mum and the clearing out came to an abrupt halt.

My mum was what you would call a book addict and was always at her best when she was reading.   She didn’t really mind what she read it could be anything ranging from fiction books, romance books and she even owned a few cook books.   I’m not sure why she had the cook books, because she never really seemed to be adventurous with her cooking. Perhaps she just liked looking at all the lovely colourful pictures!

Suddenly I was back 5 years ago when we had all gone on holiday together to the Canary Islands.   In my suitcase I had packed all the usual, towels, bikinis, sun tan lotion etc. I was flabbergasted because when mum unpacked her case it was full up with loads of books. Without a lie I think she had nearly a dozen with her. We were only booked for a 2 week holiday, so I thought it was a bit excessive.   Mind you she had the last laugh as she enjoyed sunbathing around the pool reading her books and she got a fantastic suntan.

The spring cleaning didn’t really go the way I had planned, but then you know what it can be like sometimes when you get distracted and when cleaning is involved, I can’t say that I really mind.
