As Terence Conran said, “furniture and food are ways that people define their attitude toward life”. It is interesting to read this as an exhausting week comes to an end for a new beginning. Every wall, corner, skirting board and door has been painted. Floors have been cleaned and Feng Shui mirrors are in place. One crystal is up and others will be hung. Our furniture arrives from storage and we haven’t seen it since the end of August. It will be a Christmas gift! Our stuff is full of travel memories, the good, the bad and the ugly of our experiences and at times, a reminder of friends and family. We are like our cats in that we miss our familiar pieces that have taken on our personal connection. Hopefully by tomorrow night, the cats and both of us are on the sofa, a glass of wine in hand and finally feeling at home.
