Oh dear Paul;

and there was me thinking he donated a pair of short trousers he wore at junior school; and never grew out of that time-line.

First in the line to donate was the CM with his viz magazine closely followed by his deputy proudly sporting a jam jar from his youth!!!

Oh yes, things were a little tougher in those far off days; yet you know we just ‘grin, and bare it.’

I think of one item very useful in the garden;
and that was the Guernsey weeder; it could weed, dig a hole for new plants, a tool of many uses.

I can well, imagine the joy and thoughts of people, of how things were( and were not) in those days.
Looking back I smile at the ways of today; however I cannot believe they are happier than those days of long ago.

I do hope that people will now join and come with things that happened, and how things were done, some of the old traditions.

‘It was all these things that made Guernsey.

Well Done
