The seasons are constantly changing and they don’t stand still for anyone or anything. They can be subtle and beautiful at times and at other times they can be harsh and unpredictable. There are days that can be beautiful and are perfect for anything you need to do. These are the days we all wish for and it would be great if all our days were easy for us to work with. Unfortunately this isn’t the case and it makes life a little difficult when it comes to doing things that need us to be outdoors. This is worse when we have to have our possessions exposed to the elements. One thing is for sure and that is no matter what the season, it’s something you have no control over.

A little bit about what happened to our growing family. We have lived in Melbourne all our life and my family is a large extended one. When my father passed away I asked my mother to come stay with us. It was good because we are a very close family and we have a large house. We have three girls and two boys and the home has always accommodated us, but recently it seemed there was a lot of bickering around bathrooms and usage of space in general. I guess the children were getting older and everyone it seemed wanted their privacy. With mum living with us, it was more pressure for both the children and her because of the generation gap, and of course I became piggy in the middle. I’m a very patient person but after a ...

After living together for the last 4 years we decided to get married and move into our new house. We had saved up a deposit which we put on a house and land package. It was a new home and we were really looking forward to moving in. The house was in the outer suburbs and although we had bought a new lounge suite, the rest of the furniture was stuff we had accumulated while living together. From the beginning we had agreed to buy only quality furniture that we both wanted so most of our furniture was nice pieces we wanted to take with us.   Once the time came to make the final step of moving, it dawned on my partner and I that all the beautiful furniture we had spent years purchasing and trying to shelter from any ...
