Clearing 25 Woodlands Road

Clearing 25 Woodlands Road and sorting Granny and Granpa's possessions has its moments!
A random sanple includes:
- a flock of moulting feather dusters
- a million coathangers
- a deflated balloon from the Royal wedding (Charles and Diana)
- loads of invitations to banquets etc and menus including ones on fabric
- programmes..including one on silk for the Royal opera house
- sacks of cat litter and gravel
- enough material scraps to make a patchwork quilt the size of several football pitches
- Granny's wedding dress made out of parachute silk
- a bird book given by Granny to Grandpa on their wedding day
- Granny's mother's school prize for French
- an unopened pack of thin nappies
- enough religious "what-nots" to supply a shop
- 4 china potties
Not to mention books, CD's, box files, crockery, more crockery, more crockery, ditto cutlery, ditto glasses, ancient food (some not readily identifiable, dead gardening gloves (lots) clothes, useless tools etc etc ad infinitum. HOWEVER thanks to help from lots of you the clobber is gradually dispersing and here are a few pics to remind us all.
