Stories About The Family Could Make A Great Book

That time of the year has arrived and with spring just around the corner that can only mean one thing - it’s tidy up time.
A couple of weekends ago the sun was shining and so unfortunately this made my house look a little bit shabby and I could see a covering of dust that had no right being there. Because of this I decided that in my house spring had arrived early and it was definitely time to start the cleaning.
It all started off well and I had really good intentions of cleaning from top to toe. Our kitchen was first on the hit list and because that took longer than I thought, I was already starting to feel weary. However I ploughed on and next on the list of rooms to tidy up was our Utility room. In our house this is one of those rooms where everything gets dumped and the door gets shut. I hadn’t been working long when I stumbled across a load of cheap books that my mum had given to me. This set me off on a lovely trip down memory lane and that was the end of my cleaning for the day.
Mum was a real fan of her books and was always happiest when she had a book in her hand. She didn’t really mind what she read it could be anything ranging from fiction books, romance books and she even owned a few cook books. I’m not sure why she had the cook books, because she never really seemed to be adventurous with her cooking. Perhaps she just liked looking at all the lovely colourful pictures!
Suddenly I was back 5 years ago when we had all gone on holiday together to the Canary Islands. In my cases I had packed all the usual holiday necessities, sun tan lotion, swimming costumes and beach towels. When mum unpacked her case it was absolutely full of books. Without a lie I think she had nearly a dozen with her. We were only away for 2 weeks so I thought it was hilarious. Mind you I will admit she came home with a fantastic suntan because she had spent her entire holiday sunbathing around the pool with a book in one hand and a glass of wine in the other.
The spring cleaning didn’t really go the way I had planned, but then you know what it can be like sometimes when you get distracted and when cleaning is involved, I can’t say that I really mind.
