Soon to be old

Dan and Ruby messing about on the keyboard in our soon to be old place.

We went across to the new place to continue to clear and sort through family documents, sticks of furniture and stuff to be recycled, binned or squirrelled away.

Some things we found:

A mink stole (horrific & beautiful in equal measure)

A hat with a bird of paradise on it (just horrific)

A request for the fee of 16s to be paid so that a gunner killed in action during the first world war could have an inscription on his headstone. Like the sacrifice of a 20 year old wasn't payment enough.
