This morning I went to my grandad's to clean and sort out another cupboard. This time it was his bedside cupboard which was full of books and dust! There were a few very old books in there. One was Black Beauty which was given to my grandad in 1946 at Sunday school. Another was the Swiss Family Robinson which was given to my great aunt in 1938 at the same Sunday school. The oldest one I found though was a book given to my great grandad in March of 1922! They all had inscriptions inside the books with their names and dates presented and all from the same Sunday school. Me and my grandad had a lovely chat about them, but he didnt want to keep them so they came home with me 🙂

Thanks for the comments about the books, they are lovely x
Yesterday I had my customer in the next village, thankfully I didnt fall off my bike this week! My dining table and chairs arrived so I started to put those together. The table is done and i shall do the chairs today.
This morning I've put some washing in and made some carrot and parsnip soup. I'm off to my first job shortly, but I'm lacking motivation after a bad night's sleep. If anyone has any to spare, I'd be grateful! 🤣
