Hi, you wonderful people!
I see you are interested to find out who I am and what my blog is all about.
Brilliant! I will iindulge in a bit of bragging, if you allow me, for what to brag I have a lot 🙂
I have been a full time live-in housekeeper in a stately home owned by a very rich family. I have learned a lot about house rules, order, cleaning, tidying, arranging and maintaining throughout the course of more than 20 years. This was my full time job and I loved it. I thoroughly enjoyed living in the 9 bedroom 12 bathroom house while serving and learning things you would probably have seen only in the movies 🙂 (Downton Abbey springs immediately to mind).
One thing that I have been taught (and since passed this knowledge to my kids) was the discipline and patience to carry out mundane domestic tasks on a regular basis. Some daily some weekly, some monthly or yearly. Take care of the little things and the big things will fall into place. A domestic cleaning version of the wise saying “Take care of the pennies and the pounds will take care of themselves.” This is so true. I have adopted this thought as my main moto in life. And to be honest, it has been one of the best things I have ever done.
Anyways, that was my life then. The vast experience I have gathered has provided me with loads of things to write about. Some of the practical advice you read on my blog is applicable to every home, some of it would sound like a movie script. If I can help your life just a tiny bit then I would be very happy.
Yours truly Jessica
