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.
