The trouble was that my father was also my bank manager and my sister and I were always brought up that it was almost criminal to go overdrawn. Not a bad way to live I suppose although not always easy to stick to.

We had a coal fire in the kitchen and one in the front room. My brother had a very old (and dangerous) three bar heater that we would throw bits of paper onto to catch fire. Us four sisters had each other to keep warm....I will have to do a post about coldness as a child and how I would wear my clothes in bed and change them only under the covers......<br />Thank you re: bee plaque - it was from SB Evans many years ago (not sure if they still exist) and most of the glazed tiles and pots in our garden came from there. This one is made for hanging on a wall and we have dragonflies and frogs too!<br />Best wishes<br />JennyThe Custardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17632655608950737315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3532409850252086723.post-32424840458231740392012-10-07T22:34:27.121+01:002012-10-07T22:34:27.121+01:00Love your stove and the ice cream sign......v,v je...Love your stove and the ice cream sign......v,v jealous.<br />Lucky you Jenny, I wish I had a shop to visit near me like Mr Langford's....what a treasure trove :)<br />x Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13965891132046580193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3532409850252086723.post-80542683325935010622012-10-07T19:58:56.116+01:002012-10-07T19:58:56.116+01:00I so wish Mr Langford had a wee shopling near me, ...I so wish Mr Langford had a wee shopling near me, and that stove, ahhh bestill my beating heart!Hoola Tallulahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08329088395765574328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3532409850252086723.post-15680959145225837982012-10-07T19:22:56.951+01:002012-10-07T19:22:56.951+01:00Your stove is so lovely, I love the colour of it a...Your stove is so lovely, I love the colour of it and the decoration on it.
