Sticking My Neck Out Here!

Slowly but surely the loft its being re-loaded [in between all the other urgent jobs that seem to take priority, like preparing for meetings, and washing clothes etc] I have been incredibly diligent about recycling, and filling a Charity Shop Box, and discarding things that need no longer be kept. The bathroom is getting emptier. But then…

Here is Kendal. She is almost half as tall as I am – and was a gift to Stephanie about 10 years ago.

I emailed Steph to ask what to do. I sensed that she was a little reluctant to part with this gift from a good friend [but then if that is the case, shouldn’t Kendal be cluttering up S’s place in Putney?]

But I finally decided that K should go with the Charity Shop stuff. Now, I am avoiding CS at the minute [it is 3 weeks since I even entered one!] but I did wander into WHSmith on Monday to flick through the magazines [determined not to buy one – just to look at them!] And well, I never! There on the front of the newest Martha Stewart Living magazine was…

The Doyenne Of Homemaking Style herself- and standing behind her is…Kendal’s big sister! So maybe we ought to hang on to our friendly Giraffa camelopardalis for just a little longer. Perhaps there is a corner of our home where she could stand stylishly? I mean, if Martha has one then they are clearly the epitome of fashion right now?

Kendal could always lurk in the corner behind the fig tree - the fruits are just becoming ripe enough to eat now…
