As you have definitely noticed I moved to my Granddad’s place half a year ago – this nice, old yet somewhat worn house that basically needs a thorough makeover. However, I am working determined to keep a sensible balance – so all my time and energy will not suddenly vanish into a blue sky of endless renovation, modernization and maintenance tasks …
Mainly it’s about prioritizing. And accepting that everything takes its time. I like things to be neat, clean and beautiful, yes, but I have no need for a polished surface. Never was interested in the perfect. For me it’s not how things looks – but very much how they feel – and how they are… 🙂

lovely that you can live in your grandad’s house. so much family history and resonance. Sorry to have read on FB that he had passed away. You will think of him always, I’ll bet as you walk through the rooms he lived in. Susan
