A little bit of history

The lovely Fiona Bruce of Antiques Roadshow and more was on TV this evening. It made me go and take a photo of the quite old vases we have. My mum was given them by an old man she was very kind to when she was in her 20s. Indeed my grandparents had him come to stay for the last six months of his life though they didn't really know much about him. The vases had belonged to his parents - wedding present we think ....so they've been around for a while! But I don't really think they're treasure......and one has a little chip. But a good story.
Three good things
1. Kindness across generations
2. Extra help at school
3. Finding just what I needed as I tidied and sorted school resources this evening.

Beautiful vases and a lovely story.

I think this reminds me of a gift I got from my teacher when I was a student in China, except mine were a tiny pair, only about four inches tall

Well next time Antique Road Show comes to Scotland Sallie ...they look very interesting to me & might be worth a bob or two! The shape looks right!
