Takeaways from Roobee’s Easter weekend content:
1) they’re a family of hoarders - she showed all the books that they were getting rid of from their loft and it was hundreds of what mostly looked like children’s books
2) she’s broken out the watercolours again

Tryna make sense of what this is actually. Is she working on her own illustrations for her own children’s book?
I noticed that and I couldn't honestly believe what I was seeing I mean why haven't they got rid of any of them children's books when both children are now in their 20s. Examples of the children's book I saw were a Phonics Alphapets book, Little Miss Tidy book by Roger Hargreaves, Maisy Goes to Playground and a Noddy book amongst many others. Even when Ruby showed us the pile of books that they were going to keep some of them still looked like children's books and I just thought they won't get read so what is the point of keeping them. I honestly think it's shocking that they have left them in the loft for all this time and have never thought about getting rid of any of them, I mean they must have around 300 to 400 books in that loft possibly more.1) they’re a family of hoarders - she showed all the books that they were getting rid of from their loft and it was hundreds of what mostly looked like children’s books

She‘s entered her Donnie Darko era.
To be fair, books are very easy to keep hold of, especially if you've got the loft space for it. A number of books from when my brothers and I were little are still knocking around from when we were little.Takeaways from Roobee’s Easter weekend content:

That said, the sheer volume of books is... A lot. Like, I thought our house had loads hanging about before the odd book clear outs we had done over the years, but thats crazy. And that's just the loft? Not anywhere else? I'm surprised they're keeping any of them. I tend to take a line with things like this that if they've sat somewhere like the loft for that long, they'd obviously not be missed and I just get rid of them.
Yep, that was just the loft where she was going through the books with her aunt.
I get keeping some for future children or just a couple as sentimental, but SOME not a whole library worth. That house must be groaning under the weight of sheer rit they keep squirreled away
I honestly couldn't believe how many children's books were in that loft it was shocking to see as I was thinking why are earth have they kept so many that they are never going to read.

People like this think they are clever and better than others by having hundreds of books around the house, a tv in a cabinet that they hardly ever watch because they'd rather be reading and learning. Pisses me off. I think Ruby's family are a prime example of this.
Blimey there are enough books there to serve a village library! wow.Takeaways from Roobee’s Easter weekend content:

I think I had similar shoes when I was 12. (I never was one of the cool kids, never shopped at H&M and I entered my trainers-wearing phase in my adulthood. My 12-year-old me would have liked Ruby's fashion sense.)I saw a hare, and it was all YALLOW
I've had the Kickers' ones in black, another pair in lilac, and I was around TWALVE.
I'm very attached of some of my childhood books lol but theirs don't look like they're treasured keepsakes. If you never look at them you might as well donate them to kids who will enjoy them.
I might be misremembering as I‘ve never been able to find the video again, but I’m sure that a few years ago (maybe in one of her Exeter packing videos?) Ruby showed the ‘attic‘ in the house and it literally looked like a landfill site - there was just a massive pile of stuff in the room. I remember being a bit shocked about the sheer amount of stuff in there but it did explain the rest of the house …
What flowers are these, and do you think any of the Boneseses checked whether they’re edible or at least safe to have around food?
Looks like primroses and rosemary that have been sugared. Perfectly safe to eat, although probably not advisable in a garden that has dogs in it …
Is that what that kind of cake is supposed to look like?
Are they almond cakes as everyone except Martha like almond
