So true, Brain, I'm with you on the moving preparations, I'm packing and sorting as well. It's amazing how much easier it is to part with stuff when it has to be packed or pitched.

There are a very few select items that I will always keep with me, and I do find myself looking at them from time to time, but, I'm fortunate in the truth that I just don't attach a lot of meaning to things.

I've just demolished all my photo albums in favor of scanning and boxing only the prints. I'm so brave, I've even pitched the negatives I've been hauling around all these years!
