This week’s interesting but also embarrassing achievement was that I finally (after having moved house five years ago) unpacked that last packing carton.

Inside the carton (and still in excellent condition, mind you) were a series of my favourite photos of Master SSG as a baby.  In further interesting developments, I have now hung up the entire series. 

Five years to unpack, one day to display.

The photos are now the last thing I see each night before bed.  I reminisce not only about those early months as a new mother but also about the life and routine I had in our old house.

I can’t explain why but since the photos have been unpacked and hung, SSG Manor 2.0 has felt even more ‘right’ than before.  It’s been beautiful and unexpected.
