Spent some time yesterday looking through a couple of boxes Mum had stored away. I was surprised & amazed to come across this ornament .
I was immediately cast back to age 6 or so. I went on a school trip. I was dispatched with about a pound note & lunch.
I spotted this ornament & bought it for Mum. I was so pleased to get back & give this to Mum I tripped getting off the coach & dropped the ornament. I remember sobbing & Mum giving me a hug, telling me it would be fixed & as good as new.
Almost 40 years later I came across the ornament still glued, after 3 house moves.
A really happy memory & acutely missing Mum.
