When we redecorated a few years back, we put all the baby photos away of our kids so they only have to endure more recent ones now! I kind of miss those chubby smiles 🥹 I hope your parents are well Mark and you've all had a good Christmas xx

Thanks for sharing this. I can relate although I've not been through a fraction of what this wonderful lady has.

Also (yes me again), I do have to point out that Jane Austen only had six books published. What a lightweight!

This looks a bit like my special shelf on our bedroom bookcase reserved for all things MW. Also Dan & Sam live there and few other bits. Hubby's shelf contains books about Leeds United and Guy Martin and other heroes. They have room to share a shelf as they haven't put the work in that you have!
