I’m having a loft ladder fitted; it includes a bigger hatchway and boarding; 17 years ago when we first moved here, I did some rough DIY boarding and have over last 24 hours removed contents of the loft and the boarding I’d fitted (my torn calf has let me know I really shouldn’t have).
The last 17 years has also seen me standing on tip toe on top of a small step ladder hauling myself up into the loft, and repeating the process to get down. I haven’t fallen yet, but it is increasingly harder to do, so it’s only a matter of time - hence a proper loft ladder. .
At the back of the loft was a cardboard box of stuff; we think it had been there since August 2005 and contained no end of treasures, including a varied selection of photos some of which I’ve captured here. Included are 2 photographs, a 19 year old me (plus one of me a lot younger with hair) and a 19 year old Carole.
Thank you for your views, comments and favs on yesterday’s offering. Much appreciated.
Lovely memories - such a special find ! Good to have a proper ladder although at my age my ladder has defeated me - so my treasures and rubbish will have to remain up there !
What a great find, lots of treasures and memories here. I have just finished a photo book of very old photos of myself when young and old family photos going back to my great grandparents. David is sorting out old photos at the moment of his family too. I feel another photobook coming on. Maybe your photos will end up in a photobook too.
