chore, that needs to be done with care and respect, but still a mammoth task.
I now have to stay up there two days a week to get through it quicker, as it has
been painfully slow. My girls are settled into University, so now is the time.
Chester accompanies me.
I thought I had explored every little nook and cranny, then on leaving yesterday,
a new discovery.
Two more vintage trunks, that I thought were empty, were on closer, yet rushed
examination - full! Surprisingly, these were what had been left to me in the Will.
How had they been sitting there all this time, not noticed? I had been grumbling
at the awful state of linens etc. that I thought were those, then this amazing find.
One is of antique linens, some being family heirlooms, and another full of costumes.
An outfit of maroon velvet with lace trims, top and trousers, was actually from the
movie, 'My Brilliant Career'.
To pace myself through this arduous task, I have just started to take an afternoon
coastal walk, because I get very stiff and sore. My poor back and Arthritis acting
up. If I actually lived here, I would be doing this regularly, it is a delightful natural
area.
Lots of wonderful birdlife, Cormorants, Seagulls, Pelicans, Ducks, Corellas, Black Swans.
Many small private jetties, in all sorts of condition.
Marginal plantings.
Little boats at shore's edge. I like the shabby blues paintwork on this one.
This quaint house with an old dinghy planted out as landscaping.
The sand bar not far from shore becomes a Pelican island.
Some distance to look into, Mangroves and higher mountains.
