The Problems of Moving
It’s only now, that I’m seeing the sort of problems that I will have with the move.
I already know that a lot of my furniture won’t fit, as although the new house has three bedrooms, it’s got fitted wardrobes and a low ceiling height.
I’ll be getting rid of a classic dresser, a table that seats fourteen and four Victorian wardrobes. One is so awful, you can imagine it being delivered to the house after the wife (or husband for that matter) has bought it at auction and getting a response like “Darling! You actually paid good money for that!” The other three are quite nice, but they are not the sort to put in a modern house.
But it is the mass of paintings and posters, C and I collected over the years. I just won’t have the wall space for them!
I’ve also got enough framed family photographs to cover the outside of the Albert Hall.
I’ll just have to be ruthless.

If you have to be so ruthless with disposal of things, choose carefully what you keep.
Dining table to seat 14…would have place settings of china, glasswear etc.
I still have dinner & tea service to serve 12..its in a cupboard…and I really out to use them….but Smokie isnt keen on Wedgwood…

If there are things you think you son or grandaughter might eventually like, long term storage is not that expensive.
If my husband or younger daughter were looking over my shoulder reading this they would be saying “spoken like a true hoarder”.
Victorian Bedroom Suites are a problem, they are very very high indeed. Ours are 160 years old and beautiful.
