My father's dry sense of humour. Appreciated by my brother-in-law who is very much on the same wavelength. Less so by our respective wives who often have blank looks on their faces when we are nearly p'ing ourselves.
Can't say l remember Trex tokens, Lyn. Green shield stamps now.. I wear my nan's wedding ring which is engraved inside with her and my grandfather's initials and the date. I never knew him, he died when my mum was about 14. I have some of her china that was a wedding present, the tea cups are so delicate they are practically see through. My mum had a Woman's Weekly cookbook that l used to use when we had cookery lessons at school and were allowed to make our own dishes, sadly l think it was thrown out long ago. We have a lamp table in the dining room that belonged to my husband's great grandmother, now that is a solidly built thing !
A friend's father went to Uni with the whole Philby, Burgess McLean crowd and she has a dinner service given to her parents as a wedding present by Kim Philby.

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
