Rediscovered treasure!

In a few days we will all be going camping with a group, and Big One wanted to have her own smaller tent. We have a so-called ‘three-man’ tent (basically the right size for two people) which we used to use up until Big One was about 4, when we got a larger one we could actually stand up in. So we agreed she could use this old tent and share it with a friend. Yesterday my partner got the old tent out of the garage and Big One attempted to put it up in the garden to check it still worked. Part-way into this endeavour, she and Little One came running into the house shouting ‘Mum, Mum, come quick and see what we found in the tent!’ I half expected something like a dead mouse, but amazingly instead they produced this jewellery, which I had lost about 12 years ago! Somehow it had got packed up inside the tent the last time it was used, and had languished in the garage ever since. I don’t have a lot of expensive jewellery, and I don’t tend to buy it often, so most of the pieces I have are souvenirs from some trip or, very occasionally, a gift. Each of these pieces represents a memory of some place in my past life, so I was very pleased to have them back! All rights reserved. © Text and image copyright Fleur 2022.
