When I was a little girl I used to have an old-fashioned wooden writing desk with a proper lift up lid and ink-well.
.
It had been my mum's desk when she was a little girl and I asked her if she still had it as I'd quite like boy*jelly to have it.
.
.
She got it down from the attic at the weekend and it is now in it's new home of boy*jelly's bedroom.
.
.
.I explained to him that this had once belonged to me when I was his age and showed him where I'd written my name.
.
.
.The ceramic ink-well is no longer there, but there was this inside:
.
.I had completely forgotten about my Pirate pin-ball game.
.
.I must have spent a lot of time playing on it because all of the pictures came flooding back to me - even the sounds of the ceramic balls inside reminded me of my childhood.
.
boy*jelly can make use of the desk ... but he's not alllowed near the pin-ball!
.
PS - I know what you're all thinking ... but why would I iron a piece of fabric that I'm just going to shove back in the drawer as soon as I've taken the photo?
