Today has pretty well consisted of me working round bedroom cleaning and gathering a large amount of stuff for the charity shop. I did nip put early to post a letter and briefly to drop something off at Sher’s shop. Yesterday evening I took the cover off the Davenport so that I could remind myself what it looked like. Sadly I hve hd to keep it covered because it has become a favourite cat place.Now a few blasts from the past, I will comment if they aren’t self explanatory.
Michael was a bit of a rogue at the day centre who died soon after this photo.
This storage box is getting on for thirty years old, Mike made it and I decorated it.
This last picture is a poem I wrote and it got published in the local paper many years ago.
Best get back and make a pathway to the bed!
You have been busy. You’ll need to spend the weekend digging the garden as a rest 😂 You’ll be knackered tomorrow, but it has to be done.
ReplyDeleteI love the Davenport. It really is a shame you can’t leave it uncovered and get some use out of it.
I remember you going to see Charles Hanson at his sale room. He always was one of your favourites. I just looked him up to see what he’s like these days. He looks quite different, in a nice way now he’s older.
I do remember building the toy box for baby David 😊 That was a very long time ago. Some great painting you did. It still looks in pretty good condition too. Years more use from it yet.
I’ve seen the poem you wrote before, a long while ago. Nice to be a published poet. Another thing you can add to your ever growing list of things you’ve done.
It’s hard work going through stuff and thinning it out, but it’s good when you find things you haven’t seen for a long time. Jogs the memory nicely 😊
The storage box has been in constant use, it has stood the test of time well.
ReplyDeleteI do feel more tired that if I had been walking miles or been out in the garden all day, but some of the memories you come cross are interesting. I do sit at the Davenport nd white a letter sometimes, but it isn’t quite the same with the cover on! Also can’t make use of all the little drawers!
Best get back to it now……
