"Brown paper packages, tied up with string..

These are a few of my favourite things..."

This morning a trip into Northwood to talk to estate agents. Later, my sister and I checked out the loft, and found these packages.  The smallest boxes contained photo negatives from 1950s, the largest one a collection of odd drinking glasses, and the flat package some b&w prints from 1960s which my father had entered into photographic competitions at his camera club. We were delighted to find them. I'll try to add a photo later of some of them. 
More paperwork crunching later.

Meanwhile,a  phone call and text  from my Mum's GP who had been alerted by her care home because she was very short of breath. This follows a fall she suffered 
 while she was out with us on Sunday.
We were very firm that she is not to be admitted to hospital, as that would disorientate her terribly.Later, we heard she had improved and everyone is agreed she 
Is better off remaining in familiar surroundings of her care home.
