This time we had a beautiful spoon from Eileen with a fascinating family story, a very old and beautiful plate, a still life sketch, a painted pebble and lovely knitting.... Mary surprised us by revealing she has a bridge named after her and Eileen persuaded her to show and share with us an amazing Christmas present she received from her daughter....the most beautiful quilt made from her late husbands shirts. It was a very emotional moment and brought a lump to our throats... But then in true Mary style she made us laugh by revealing that she didn't care for one of his shirts but he liked it so she never said anything!!
We had tea and chatted about childhood memories and then of course it was time to clear away so Marie and the others could watch 'pointless' !!
