It is these sorts of memories that your ch...Hi Jo,<br /><br />It is these sorts of memories that your children - and later generations - will really treasure. I always feel sad when I see things like this turn up at car-boot sales, because I think 'who wouldn't value or want to keep this?'. It's such a rare and precious thing to keep down the generations. And congratulations on 58 years - that's certainly something to celebrate!<br /><br />Best wishes,<br /><br />Tash from vintagepretty.orgVintagePrettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17417348122069803064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-70377943844982849152014-02-19T10:39:44.439+00:002014-02-19T10:39:44.439+00:00Thank you.

I think marriage is something which needs to be worked at, many people divorce at the first sign of trouble, though I think that if divorce hadn't been frowned upon in my parent's time, there'd have been many more marriages which didn't last. Some couples stayed together in loveless, and sometimes, violent marriages so it's hard to say we should go back to those times.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605977931488846865.post-61516144007501028302014-02-19T10:30:52.940+00:002014-02-19T10:30:52.940+00:00Having reasearched my own family tree, I think it ...Having reasearched my own family tree, I think it would be wonderful for us all to write down our own memories and key events of our lives, I'd have loved to have unearthed such a thing from one of my ancestors.

My grandparents reached 60 years and had the telegram from the Queen to add to their album, wonderful to look back at fashion and social history. Facinating researching our own history. I encouraged my grandparents to write all their stories before they were unable to, so lovely to re-read their lives. Perhaps it is something we all should do?
