2 The Wildworks’ Cabinet of Cornish Curiosities is still in the Museum in Truro and T loved opening the drawers to find what was inside. Her favourite was the drawer with all the coloured plastic pieces found on Cornish beaches.

Firstly, for my lovely little Sister who lives so far from the UK in Hawaii, a bunch of flowers to remind you of Cornish hedgerows in August, full of orange Montbretia and wild fuchsia (as well as some Sweet peas from our garden.)

Next, a lovely photo I found recently of you with one of your sons and our lovely Dad, taken around Dad’s 89th birthday.

and, almost last, a reminder of a special day that you won’t remember – your Christening. The photo was taken in the garden of Creek Vean, Pill Creek, Feock, the first house we lived in when we moved to Cornwall. I still have the Christening dress that all of us wore in turn and Mum and her brother wore before us almost 100 years ago!

and lastly sending you all our love. Be happy, be loved and be special.
