I was going to visit Helen, my mum had been friends with her sons when she was growing up, and she visited us in Aus last year. She is absoloutly lovely, and aged about 83. In the morning she let me go through her draws of Old Things!!! She gave me a blouse of her aunt's, from the 30s, and some beautiful old fabrics and lace. After all that excitement we went for lunch at the pub, walked along the river , past the old old mill, and fed the swans!
We also had a peek into the church. This photo is for you Math!
Those pheasants made out of straw are the trademarks (so to speak) of the thatcher who made the roof.
Helen's pin and needle holder. Bought from a church fair I think in the forties.
I was really happy to see her, and we are going to have afternoon together in London this week!
