The photos of our family all wrapped in their quilts have come down from where they were under David's Leyland bus... then...
Waiting waiting to see what goes in in this space???
Hurray! at last, this old Surrey Bus Destination Roll has gone up in our family room! Why you ask, haven't we got enough already?? Well this one is very special, my fathers name was Ripley Clements Rodd, his fathers name was Clements Ripley Rodd... both these first two names are the surnames of women who married the Rodd or Robertson side of our family. Anna Maria Riley was my 3rd Great Grandmother, born in Plashett, Essex in 1784, married Sir James Robertson and moved to Australia in 1822. Ripley is the name of the town just north of Guildford, Surrey where David and I were married many many moons ago, we lived in Guildford in 1968 and again for a couple of years in the late 1970's. Plus... my brother is Timothy Ripley and my grandson Charlie Ripley, we just love this name thats for sure.
So this lovely old destination roll brings us great and fond memories.
The photos of our family wrapped in their quilts now live under another couple of the quilts I've made.
Elodie and Remy are now under my tiny Babushkas... and the three little signs are under our old, never worked clock and the barometer.
David and Wheels in Motion poster hasn't been forgotten.
