It is kind of amazing to begin to see all the things one collects. Moving is a very effective way to realize that you do not use many of the things that surround you. While the process can be stultifying, it is very freeing to give things away and keep only essentials. I am challenged everyday by objects for which I must answer the questions - do I use it? will I use it? or am I just pretending it is vital. Frequently I find myself thinking, I know just who I should give this to who will really enjoy having it and so I create another small space for something new to appear.
Here is a photo of our little fish pond a the house in Constantia. Grandsons Sam and Ewan were searching for the new goldfish we had put into the pond. Gerry is in the background and the small artist's cottage can be seen there too. I'm looking for the photo with the lovely view we have of the back of Table Mountain to post. I've posted one at the office to keep me inspired as I move through the last few weeks at work.
