tidying

Today we are sorting out and cleaning, reducing what we have accumulated since arriving only two  and a half months ago.
We are off on our travels to race and see other friends in Whanganui (sorry I've been mis-spelling that previously).

We've had plenty of christmas presents....why do people give you the most impractical of things, knowing that you have to travel light!!?

The chickens still come to the deck ready  for supper and bed....

and Taz wont stay put when you want to take his portrait....

Were the hens Christmas presents? I think my sister used to live in Whanganui. She now lives in Kamo.

The three brown jobs were ex-batts, the others also a mixed flock rescued from a local smallholding.

I wondered how you could accumulate things, as you can't bring much home on a bicycle, even if you have a credit card in your pocket.

Before we moved to Boston, we were given a number of heavy and unwieldy things. From people who knew we were stripping our possessions away ruthlessly. Hard to understand.

Still, nice chicks.

Joanne, people give you books...and calendars...and christmas gifty stuff...and clothes....we've bought clothes we needed too AND brought too many with us!!

Some we can give to the charity shop, others we will need when we get back and can't afford to leave them here and buy more....
They'll be sorted today!

I feel as if I'm stuck in the mud next to you dynamos!
In fact, I feel guilty of lethargy.

(If lethargy's a fair way to describe the hours I'm putting in shovelling snow and spreading rock-salt in chilly Yorkshire).

Keep the stories and pics coming. Whanganui next!
