A happy ending
I know, I know I said I’d have a little blogging break,
but something lovely has happened and I just had to tell you:
You may remember this post about the beautiful photograph
I had found of the Ford Robertson twins and their mother, Marion (updated post here).
Well,
Marions’ great grandson in New Zealand stumbled across my post
and contacted me
and now the photograph of Marion and her twin boys has been returned safely home where it belongs.
The family have sent me a photograph of Marion taken in 1925. Such an elegant lady:
I told you something lovely had happened!
Now, isn’t that an amazing story?

wow, that must just make your heart sing for the photo to be going back to the owner.
Someone gave me a photo of a victrian wedding as they thought i would love the pictures of the lace. My mum saw the photo and I could see her heart pine for photos of her ancestors ( her mother was adopted). It all more important than we know.
