Stories About The Family Could Make A Great Book
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.
Last weekend the sun was shining and so unfortunately this made the house look a bit grotty and I could see layers of dust that really shouldn’t be there. Therefore I decided spring had sprung early and it was time to start cleaning.
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. This is one of those rooms in our house that we seem to dump everything and then just pull the door shut. I hadn’t been working long when I stumbled across a load of cheap books that my mum had given to me. This sent me off on a trip down memory lane and my clearing out came to a standstill.
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!
It’s funny because I suddenly remembered a holiday we had all gone on together to Lanzarote. In my cases I had of course packed all I needed for a summer holiday including bikines, towels for the beach and of course sun tan lotion. When mum unpacked her case I was amazed as it was full of books. Without a lie I think she had nearly a dozen with her. I thought this was really funny as we were only staying at the villa for 2 weeks. 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.
