Say goodbye to clutter, reduce stress, and live simply with this
easy-to-use guide to downsizing!
Whether you are selling your family home, blending households into a
new home, or cleaning out your aging parents' home, sorting through a
lifetime's worth of accumulated possessions can be a daunting and
stressful experience. Decluttering guru Peter Walsh recently went
through the process of downsizing his childhood home and dividing his
late parents' possessions among his family. He realized that making
these decisions about mementos and heirlooms creates strong emotions
and can be an overwhelming chore.
In Let It Go, Peter will help you turn downsizing into a rejuvenating
life change with his useful tips and practical takeaways, including how
to:
- Understand the emotional challenges that accompany downsizing
- Establish a hierarchy of mementos and collectibles
- Calculate the amount of stuff you can bring into your new life
- Create strategies for dividing heirlooms among family members without
drama
This new phase brings unexpected freedoms and opportunities, and Peter
walks you through every step of the process. You'll feel freer and
happier than you ever thought possible once you Let It Go.
THE ENTERTAINING AND HEARTWARMING SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER. Like
many couples, Dick and Angel had long dreamed of living in France,
but where others might settle for a modest bolthole in the French
countryside, the Strawbridges fell in love with a 19th-century
fairytale chateau, complete with 45 rooms, seven outbuildings, 12
acres of land and its own moat. Throwing caution to the wind, Dick
and Angel swapped their two-bedroom flat in East London for an
abandoned and derelict castle in the heart of the Loire valley and
embarked on the adventure of a lifetime with their two young
children Arthur and Dorothy. Sharing their full journey for the
first time, A Year at the Chateau follows Dick and Angel from when
they first moved to France in the depths of winter and found
bedrooms infested with flies, turrets inhabited by bats, the wind
rattling through cracked windows, and just one working toilet,
which flushed into the moat, through to the monumental efforts that
went into readying the chateau for their unforgettable wedding and
their incredibly special first Christmas. Along the way we'll read
glorious descriptions of rural life in France, with charming
characters, delicious food and wonderful seasonal produce, together
with the extraordinary list of renovations and restorations Dick
and Angel completed, many of which were never shown on TV. As warm
and entertaining as their much-loved show, A Year at the Chateau is
a truly irresistible story of adventure and heart, epic ambitions
and a huge amount of hard graft.
