And the reason this is painfully obvious to me at the moment is we bought a small caravan just over a week ago. We're quite excited about our new method of travel. Not least because the kitchen is inside! Luxury! No cooking on gas jets in the wind!
But it's going to take a while before we find where everything "belongs", before we become efficient at using the space. We're on our second little jaunt with it and I'm finding that it's as though stuff is spring-loaded, ready to leap out of whatever storage nook it's been in to create instant clutter!
So that's what I'm after today - all your small-space-living tips! HELP!
And I thought I'd take on a quick pictorial tour of our first trip. We went to house-and-pet sit for a friend. She has 5 horses, 1 dog, 1 cat and a million gorgeous roses! I was a bit worried about the roses, given my not-so-green thumb! But it was only a few days and we all survived!
