Mother's Furniture

The Furniture was left to me by Christina in her will and was brought to Two Ashes by Jane and Amrick (Picture just earlier)

The smoking Cabinet was a twentyfirst Birthday Present to my Father from my Mum's Family

Each Drawer was filled with a different brand of Cigarettes

There is a Tobacco jar in the Centre and below there are slots for Pipes and Cigars

The oilpainting is of Rydal Water and was painted by one of Arthur's Godmothers , Laura Mc Quone

With regard to the Dining Table, Father paid 10 Shillings and sixpence extra for the Scallops round the edge

That is about 55pence in modern money

All in all a very satisfactory outcome

Audiology Reception

This is Mrs Susan Pickard the receptionist at the Audiology Clinic with my bundle of notes . In my opinion she is the most efficient receptionist that I have ever met. Today was no exception

My Problem is that today they have taken an impression of my ear and it will take 12 weeks to supply my Hearing Aid.

The maion problem rather that the Hearing is that the tinitus is horrendous
