Day #20 Something That Means A Lot To Me

Wow, it's already the 20th November, that's shocking, still haven bought one Christmas present!

Anyway - something that means a lot to me? I'm going to head down the same route a I did last year - I have a lot of gifts from people who are still around you, but I think it's the little things that remind you of those who live on in your memories that have an extra charm about them, and of course I'm talking about my Nan.

She was a lovely flossy haired nan who loved her family soo much, and always had a little dog by her side (which my parents have now inherited). One of her 'things' was Lilliput Lane - the mini model houses you can buy. She had HUNDREDS of them and I used to find it fascinating to look at them when we wen to visit. When she passed, they were divvied out between the three boys and us grandchildren also took one each. 

I had never noticed before but she had a Lilliput Lane model of The Royal Albert Hall - being someone who's always been close to music I took that one. Interestingly though my Dad used to have music lessons in one of the rehearsal rooms at the Albert Hall, maybe that was part of the thinking behind why she originally bought it - who knows.

Anyway, since it came into my possession it's mainly lived its life on a shelf but as I'm sure you'll know if you've ever encountered a Lilliput Lane model, they're very heavy - so I use mine as a door stop! That might sound a little disrespectful but it's a pretty cool door stop and every time I move it I think of my nan and it makes me smile.

What's something that means a lot to you?
