When our amazing Freyja was younger and busy, as little ones are, we would engage her to describe what she might be up to at any given moment. Not always equipped with the best explanation, she would reply…” I’m just doin’-doin’…and mister she’s been doin’ at warp speed for 6 years now.

With so much to do and so much to learn, her Nana is not possessed of an organised mind and faced with a monumental to-do list, l’m at a loss to begin. I will be plodding through til l reach a finish line. Lol, the journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. I will try to channel my exuberant Freyja and the vitality of all of my four grandgirls. (Oh, you’ll hear about all of them in due course.) I could use their energy and vitality as l begin.

Having committed to go for it, l am anxious to proceed. Preparing the space is the straightforward “first step”. 15 years of finely aged dirt my friends. Starting anywhere is a step in the right direction. It’s a great old building but at present it’s a big mess, a fixer upper, a challenge, not for the faint of heart.

As l wade through this hoarders hair-raising hidey-hole. There are a few treasures, raw materials that l will use. Conversely there are some WTF items that will have me puzzling for weeks. A merry, slightly mad adventure…and oh, the soul satisfying high of a monumental purge!!!

I was just out to capture a “before” picture. Please wish me well on the journey to the “after” one. I have nearly one hundred days to pull it off.
