Going back to yesterday, when my late neighbour's son left Hubby a pile of car magazines, he also asked if I would like the christening gown he and his mother were christened in.
That makes the gown almost 100 years old!
To be honest I didn't know what to say, but was getting the vibes that whilst he didn't want it, he couldn't bear to part with it....so I said I would be happy to be custodian of if it for him.
He thought maybe someone at our church might want it, but we don't baptise infants, only those who are old enough to acknowledge the Lord Jesus as their Saviour and ask for baptism.
So, I don't really know what to do with it, but as its so small, it can sit in my wardrobe.
I appreciate its heritage and also the beautifully delicate flowered lace.
The bunny separation has gone well....they have shown interest in each other through the safety of the wire, and so Benji can access his own "penthouse suite" we have made a little bridge for him.
Flora has proved just as difficult to catch and it needs two people so we can head her off!
It must look really funny if anyone is watching us!
I have been home all day, partly because the builder was supposed to come and see if he can sort out the leak in the conservatory, and partly because a retired friend of ours from Hull was driving down to spend a few days with us.
I spent the day generally tidying up, making soup ( he LOVES home made soup) getting dinner ready and also a dessert ( the family love visitors as we always have dessert when they are here!)
Teen Two gets on really well with our friend, largely I guess because he is one of these people who has a real interest in others and spends ages talking to Teen Two, listening and encouraging him.
They also love to play wii sports games together and here they are having a game of billiards together.
It will be a busy few days for me, with later nights than I am used to, but the laughter and happiness that fills the house will be worth it all.
