My lovely dad bought me the little Sylvio "Terrier" ornament as a gift on his day at the Autumn Fair . The Autumn fair was originally when farm hands were hired and the whole town and villages around would have a day off work and there would be a great street market held as well as the Farmers Market
I was about 6-7 years old and post war there were very few toys around I cherished my little dog and has followed me through life The other little dog I rescued when I was clearing up my parent's home , now the two keep each other company .
