...and Jordan PASSED her Driving Test.. what a little beauty!! She had to wait for the car to come through MOT and then had to go to work half an hour later!
I have most of the antique things I own in my Mum's little annexe which she used to live in. ..she went into a residential home for the last six months of her life and in that time I sorted a lot of stuff out, so as it turns out it was easier to do before than after. The place was decorated for Uncle Bill to stay in so I kept the antique stuff in a nice glass cabinet, a little bit of our life long ago.
There are a few things hidden in my scrap room drawers and here are some of them..mostly a diary and post from my Mum's Dad, sent home from East Africa in the first war.. I should get on with the job of writing up his thoughts, he was a teacher and I am sure he had lots of views of the way the world was then..I think of him like the Tom Hanks character in Private Ryan, a teacher misplaced in a war.
Also found a silver coin, well worn, turns out, thanks to Google, it is a Queen Victoria commemoratuve meal from her Diamond Jubilee.. good timing.. here's the Google image I found, so the one I have is very worn, maybe it was worn around someone's neck.. it has a small hole in it.
Oh what lovely things to have. I love the coin as a charm and yes what great timing. The letters must be the most precious things though, someones thoughts are fascinating.
