Dear Sheddists,
it's the start of my second year of retirement and it can't be put off any longer. Our daughters insist we clear the loft in the upper tower at the House of electrofried. It currently plays host to a rich cornucopia of discarded family mementos lovingly assembled over the course of nearly three decades, but they profess little interest in sorting it out come their parents' ultimate demise.
We've resisted for many years on the basis it forms a useful layer of additional insulation to rebuff the frostiest tendrils of winter but the time has come. We don protective clothing, dig out the flash-lights and pull down the ladder. History here we come!!
Our initial forays disgorge a library's worth of yellowing paperbacks, a selection of VHS video-tapes (anyone remember Joggy Bear and Lizzie?!), sundry dust-filled cardboard boxes of varying vintage and a pile of school photographs. It's among the last of these I retrieve the treasures copied below, two black and white photos of my parents...
Yours as ever,
electrofried(mr)
