I guess I`m a sentimental old thing!

Pics! Also, as an aspiring mechanical engineer, and a lover of clock/watch mechanisms. Photographs of the insides would be awesome.

I love these old stuff, and wish they would come back and replace the damn batteries the world is obsessed with!

This isn`t my actual clock, it`s a photo I found on t`internet, but it`s identical to mine

My grandmother is on her last legs... the doctors are saying 24-48 hours - but, at 105 this year, she's had a damn good innings.

I never new my grandfather George, her first husband and my father's father, as he died shortly after WWII as a result of injuries and torture.

One of the things that my grandmother always kept was a letter informing her George had been repatriated. She gave it to me a few years ago and it's something that led me to research more of what he was doing. It wasn't until relatively recently that we found out what my grandfather was doing during the war.

I`m sorry to hear that
