Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!
I’ve got an alarm on my phone for 8am. I snoozed the alarm and by the time I got up, it slipped out of my head. I didn’t take them til 2pm so Venlafaxine, Pregabalin and tapentadol withdrawal took its toll today - last thing I need lolOriginally Posted by Suzi
Tomorrow, we’re off to an antiques fair in fareham. It’s 45mins away so I hope it’s not just a glorified car boot
The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

Soooo, normally when I go antique-ing, I buy ornaments and sparkly stuff (obvs) and Si very rarely comes with me. Today, for whatever reason, I was drawn to the unusual and we both loved looking at old records/tapes, war memorabilia, cigarette cards, 007 playing cards and a 17th century map of the Isle of Wight. (Oh, and an 18ct gold, fire opal and diamond ring costing £1600. But we both fell in love with 2 incredible books.
The first is an original, period book produced for Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee in 1897. It’s got all sorts of details including the line of succession, her statesmen, her family, how transport had changed between 1837 and 1897, British victories on land and sea etc with the most glorious adverts and illustrations. It’s stunning!
The second is Princess Mary’s Gift Book produced in 1914 (when she sent tins with chocolate to all men at the Front for Christmas) which featured stories, poems and illustrations from some of the literary greats at the time inc A A Milne and Rudyard Kipling - they were sold to raise money for the men fighting.
Honestly, I’m so excited to have these pieces of history!
