We sold a backpack

Following our success selling the printers' drawers and some wine-glasses, we advertised Vin's backpack on a local buy and sell site. He bought the backpack several years ago when he went to Nepal on his own. As we are not likely to need the backpack again we thought someone else might like the use of it. It sold this morning to a nice lady who wants to get back into doing some hiking. I was going to put up a photo of Vin with his backpack but this one of a lake is much more attractive. I think it is my favourite of all the photos he took while he was away and it will definitely be going in one of our new frames to be displayed on our newly painted walls. Do you like it? I might have put it up before but I think it will stand a second viewing.

Oh yes - it's a lovely photo . . . it really makes me wish we were in a little boat like that in the middle of the lake! The kids have a few backpacks from school - but totally not in sellable condition .

@JudyEv For travel use, it must've been a sturdy but spacious backpack. I'm sure Vin's backpack did not have My Little Pony or Pokemon characters on it .

@much2say No it didn't but what a shame I didn't think to put a My Little Pony sticker on it. it would have made it easier for him to find on the airport carousel - but he would have had to wait till everyone got their baggage and left before he could pick it up without being laughed at.

Vin's backpack had had very little use. It's probably a bit bigger than your kids' backpacks. :)

I've used the same backpack for nearly 25 years. It's not the same as a backpack from Nepal, though.

We have a few smaller ones too! They are really useful at music festivals, etc. especially when we just take one and Vin has all the gear.

I sometimes wish articles could speak to us. Some would have incredibly interesting stories to tell.

I love that painting. Yes, you've shown it before, but that's okay. It's beautiful. It's great you were able to sell the backpack.

We have a file of photos of things that we've put up for sale from time to time and we've actually sold quite a few things.

Vin didn't actually go 'backpacking'. A suitcase would have been adequate so it hasn't had a lot of use. The lady was very pleased with it.

It could be beautiful and useful too, so someone bought it at once.

The backpack was like new and had hardly been used. I'm sure the lady will get a lot of use from it.

It's always nice to see a personal item go to one who would have the most use or need for it, oh yes that's a beautiful picture kinda lonely but it emotes a lot of feelings.

The lady was very pleased with it so it's all good. Better than it lying in the bottom of the cupboard.
