My family has a terrible tendency to just let everything fall into forgotten obscurity, which I think is it a bit sad.

She mostly went for simple, almost generic names like 'Tiddles' or 'Matey', so 'Rover' isn't unexpected, but Nobby is quite an exotic selection for her!<br />The Swedehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237251779370596904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7522017207239490912.post-91940744464301046762014-10-26T13:45:26.435+00:002014-10-26T13:45:26.435+00:00Lovely post - that is so sweet that even those orn...Lovely post - that is so sweet that even those ornaments were given names and that you should find them with the dates too.<br />Soon after my mum died we were taking down the little pictures on her bedroom wall, and I was shocked to find that she had written on the back of one that it was for me and Mr SDS to have.
