Memory boxes

Before she passed, mum informed us of her memory boxes that she's curated since she came to the island.  There are seven boxes of cards, newspaper cuttings, photos and the like.

There's so much stuff in there that it took us a couple of hours to go through, and we didn't even get to read it all properly.

We did find some gems that I plan on sharing on the blog over the next week or so. 

I'll start by poking fun at a younger version of myself by posting a 3 part note that I must have written to my mum one night when she was out (probably playing sports, lets be honest).

  1. These letters aren't dated, were they from 2016?

  4. I’m sure your dad no longer ‘hates’ you Tom. Agreed Steve? Steve?? 😂
    I hope you have finally forgiven him Tom...Dad’s can be harsh at times!! I totally understand why this note made it to your mum’s memory box, and how it must have made her laugh when she returned from her 12 games of netball, 6 aerobics classes and 5 runs around the block (not mentioniong the quick game of squash she managed to squeeze in 😉) x
