I would love to be sitting in that chair! I can feel the late afternoon sun, and see a beautiful Mediterranean bay through the trees. A really lovely picture.
What a lovely discovery. My granddad was a porter at Billingsgate fish market and my mum was familiar with swathes of shellfish being prepared to feed their large family (13 children!)
What a lovely discovery you made doing a difficult job of wading through boxes of your mums things. Beautiful picture that is really quite calming.
I found hundreds and hundreds of paper clips, pencils and rubbers in my mothers belongings, I kept them for months and then just as I was about to let them go to the tip I found a craft charity that was thrilled to take the lot, I was so pleased that they went to an organization that could use them.
How fascinating!
I’ve been finding treasures of a sort in the boxes saved from my parents’ house after they died, so this resonated.
It’s a delight to find something precious in all the boxes of stuff

Me too!
It is such a charming drawing and well done for finding out so much about her. It is so tricky to find out about artists pre- internet.
There is something very enticing about this print. I want to be sitting at that table in the sunshine!
I thought just the same and would love a tablecloth like that!
What a lovely picture! And some great detective work
It’s charming isn’t it. I can imagine being there.
Serendipity! I can feel the sun.
Don’t you just want to be sitting there! To be fair we are sitting in our garden having just had dinner al fresco so can’t complain!
What a great story and detective work, and a lovely picture.
Thank you June. It was an unexpected pleasure

It was delightful to find. I bet your granddad had some (fishy) tales to tell!
What a beautiful picture.
I know! I just want to be sitting at that table 😁

I hadn’t thought about a craft charity. What a good idea!
