Once Upon A Previous Time
Following up on my Once Upon a Time post six years ago, here’s a picture of me on the last day at Normandy Primary School in June 1958, I’m on the right end of the back row. A surprising number of our class went on to Erith Grammar School thanks to the excellent teacher, Frank Durrant.
Brand Family Christmas 2019
We haven’t had an actual Christmas Tree since we first moved to Owen Sound and took possession of our house on Christmas Eve … there were no trees to be had, so we decorated Jeremy the Giraffe. Every year since then we have made it a tradition to decorate the long-suffering Jeremy, who seems to take it in good spirits.
This year I decided to add a minimalist fireplace on which to hang the stockings.
