Number One Son spent nearly three years in New York and all the Stuff he'd accumulated in three years at Cambridge ad a year in London came home for the duration - including six large architectural models. His room was revamped, shelved out and turned into a half store/half bedroom. Just about big enough to get visitors in if they didn't mind the shelves.
He came home in June intending to stay for the summer prior to going to Rome (he's at the British School on an architectural scholarship until June 09) and proceeded to 'sort' through his junk. Predictably there was stuff he should never have kept and he started to sling it out and pack what was left. He actually made the bedroom quite comfortable again with shelves limited to the wallspace not banked on the floorspace.
Just as predictably an architect friend offered him a couple of months work on a competition project - in London - so he buggered off leaving half the contents of his room exploded across the landing.
With only a couple of days at home before leaving (early) for Rome the stuff on the landing is now in big plastic boxes - but still on the landing and waiting for some strong person to heave it down into the store room with the rest of his Stuff.
Number One Daughter? She's been away a little longer and is a little more settled, but we still have a desk, shelves, drawers and assorted boxes that won't fit in to the new flat.
