Dulce Domum



I have just achieved a life-goal that until five minutes ago I didn't realise I even had: my own fireplace into which to toss the peels of my mandarin oranges at Christmas.

All my life, I've been trying to recreate the life I had at my grandparents' house in childhood. I think I'm almost there. Maybe need better towels.

And to dust more often...

    "All my life, I've been trying to recreate the life I had at my grandparents' house in childhood."

    Me, too. Mine involves a dairy farm, an old rural church and a very serious little old priest.

    We learn very early what constitutes a good life. Then we spend a lot of years convincing ourselves of a lot of rubbish and nonsense. If we're lucky, later we can get back the knowledge that we had in childhood, and work to create such a life.
