Worried about biodiversity loss. What's happening is one big horror story.

8. Anyway, please remember, amid all the noise about the prisons crisis, that it is caused not by rising crime or rising population. It is caused by rising demands from people who do not represent this country and do not have our interests at heart. Thank you. 8/8

Since childhood I always wanted the stories behind things people treasured. I used to pester my old neighbours, going through things on their mantelpieces & asking them questions!

What will I keep in the bureau, I wonder? And what has been treasured inside it before, over its 300 year old history?

I thought the photo looked like someone young - so it makes sense - & very sweet as you say.
But we can't uncover the full story 😄

I'm so glad the old man enjoyed seeing these things again.
And the clock was somehow unavoidable 😄 Especially with two brown & white dogs on its face.

Meanwhile the old man is holding on to the treasures - the letter, the stamp, the coin collection, locket, sovereign purse & much more - as they have given him pleasure & prompted good memories.
And I have acquired his old longcase clock (not working😄) in my efforts to downsize 😬

...was more precious than the gold coins.
Though I understand the old man's school career was not an illustrious one, since despite attending somewhere quite exclusive, he was expelled! The friend was perhaps a partner in crime 😄

...the photo of the young man inside an envelope with a first name on it - no one in the family knew who this person was.
The old man recognised him immediately with huge pleasure - the photo was of his best friend at school - he kept saying 'He's number one, the best'.
A memory of a dear friend
