From the past by maggiemae

From the past

A lack of photo opportunities led me to look at whats new in the house. This little glass paperweight was given by us to my older sister who passed away recently and I've got it back. Its a picture of John and I taken over 20 years ago. I made that dress which was really quite outrageous in design and John still has that leather jacket but not the moustache.
For the ONS9 challenge

Three good things:
1 Rotten weather so sat by the fire and watched old episodes of "Keeping up Appearances".
2. In spite of the rain, got the glass house fixed with replacing holes with glass. Now the rain can only come in through the ceiling!
3. Fabulous fish and chips - from a cafe that is closing down unfortunately.
you're a looker here. i could imagine you turning heads when you were still a young lady!

@summerfield I never thought that - didn't want to turn heads when I was young - called myself a 'mansogynous"

You both looks happy and relaxed. It must mean a lot to have this momento back in hand.

What a lovely gift and fitting that it has returned to you with memories of your sister attached. I remember a fabulous fish & chip meal I once had at a little cafe up on the cliffs just south of Oamaru. Best F&C ever.

@snaphappi That cafe is still there and the F&C are just as good - its a bit far away from us for F&C on a whim.

We look back sometimes and find it hard to believe how things change, and even harder is to realize how quickly the time does go by
