Hello and welcome to the very Merry Christmas Boxing Day special of the Slow Home podcast.

This is a bit of a silly shenanigans thing that we thought we'd put together for you.

I don't know if you follow me on Instagram or not, but those of you who do might have seen that a few weeks

ago I found my Hobbit poem so if so this was the this was the thing that we were talking about

regrets and you're like my biggest regret was throwing out no my hobbit no no that's not

quite how well it okay People would always ask me,

desperate for me to say yes,

if there was ever anything that I regretted decluttering.

That's what I was just about to say.

Okay.

What's Boxing Day without some family fights?

Is that right, Isla?

Yes.

So anyway, I had, like, the only thing that I could think of was this Hobbit poem that I wrote in Year 7 English for an assignment.

I rewrote the entire Hobbit book in poetry form and was always quite proud of it and somewhere throughout the

years it got accidentally decluttered. I never actually meant for it to. But the other day,

I found it hiding in a folder of papers. So when I posted this on Instagram and Facebook,

quite a few people asked us to read it

on the podcast

and I didn't want to

bore you stupid

with that
