Here are some of the places where Delia lived and worked.
Delia never unpacked. From the moment she left Clifton Villas I don't think she ever unpacked a single case, a box or anything.[1]
Very few people ever saw the inside of her home, replete with unpacked teachests and boxes from previous moves. She once told me she couldn't be bothered with housework, so when living conditions became unbearable then that was a sign of time to move on! Even in the early '60s when she had a small flat above a flower shop in Maida Vale, near the home of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, she was already used to living with... chaos![2]
At first the house she bought was fine. Gradually it filled up with furniture and packing cases from Cumbria. I don't think she ever unpacked from her first move.
Newspapers would pile up but I couldn't touch them because she'd scribbled notes and music on them.
We couldn't invite people in the place was a mess.[3]
