What can’t you leave behind when you move countries?
Here’s some of mine…
Heirloom china, a wedding present from my auntie- isn’t this the most perfect cup for a relaxing brew...

Or a spot of tasseomancy...

The 4 Frangipanis- to activate abundance and prosperity, which have been hanging crookedly above my bed here and working their magic on the South East wall.More in a few days when I’m all packed up!
