Over the years our family has gathered hundreds of books, spread in age groups, various interests and languages. If we would have kept everything it would have been a small library but  with every move my better half insisted to thin out our book cases. Some were easy to pile up for donations, coffee mornings or move-sales.

However there are always books you just can`t let go,  collection of cook books, knowledge, humour and children books remain treasures everytime I unpack when setting up home.
