Welcome to the second of this series of articles dedicated to helping you to downsize, declutter and rightsize your life, brought to you by Ryman Healthcare in conjunction with organising and decluttering expert Peter Walsh.

This time we are tackling one of the more challenging aspects of downsizing – what to do with gifts and heirlooms. Whether you need to free up space in your own home or are helping someone else to downsize, this is a task that can feel daunting and emotionally charged.

Although it might be tempting to box everything up and hide it away to deal with another day, that just passes the problem down the road to your future self or to your family.

Fortunately, there are ways to downsize gifts and heirlooms that honour and remember the past whilst enabling you to rightsize your life for the present day.

Hi Neighbour's

I appreciate many will want to keep 'quiet' family/swimming spots to themselves. However, we had a great afternoon at Chamberlains ford today but definitely found it a bit busy (next to the campsite). Is there somewhere similar but quieter? Happy to drive up to 30 mins out from Lincoln.
Again, I appreciate most want to keep these places secret but any hints or tips would be awesome :)
Thanks in advance
Will
