Jean's Birthday Present

We were at Glasgow today to buy Jean's birthday present. John Lewis had our custom for a new sewing machine.

After 40 years, her previous machine finally came to a stop with a grinding noise and wisps of blue smoke. She bought it with the cash she got after leaving ICI's pension scheme due to becoming pregnant with Katherine.

The old machine had a good end.  Fittingly it was being used by Rhys for a school project.  One generation started it and the next ended it!

No disrespect to Brother but I doubt that the new one is designed to last that long.
