In my latest series, I’m taking you on a tour of my desk buddies, who help me in my work. This week’s muse for my writing is a moneybox which belonged to my grandmother. It sits on a shelf to my right and I always feel she’s watching over me.
My grandmother’s name was Joan and her father was wine butler to King George V and she spent some of her childhood at Sandringham. They all thought the world of her and made this moneybox for her there. ‘Sandringham’ has even been engraved on the bottom. As you can see, it’s been attacked by woodworm, but I still love it and it makes me smile every time I look at it.
Hugh W. Roberts sent in his ‘posh’ bear, who sits on his desk. We can see from the name why Hugh calls him ‘posh’. I think he’s rather delightful.
If you have any special writing buddies, and would like them featured here, send a photo and a few words to estherchilton@gmail.com.
