I did it!!

A major blitz on our 2 large floor to ceiling bookcases today, removing everything...books, china, photos and other treasures including a beautifully crafted wee wooden and handpainted loon which we brought home from Maine whilst visiting on our honeymoon more than 27 years ago. 
The loon for Marionb : ))
Many piles of books now in the boot destined for the op shop for other people's enjoyment and some for my younger daughter and one of DrD's daughters in law.
A great day's work!
