Day 3. Tony's chair


 Day 3. 

The pad is rather too small. I ran out of room and the chair is squashed. It also isn't symmetrical and the two arms should follow the same angle. Still I will improve. The main thing is, I did it! Yay! It took me ten minutes and at the end my heart was racing with anxiety. This will get better. Tomorrow I could try a bigger sketch pad.

 3/52 My Favourite photograph Hazel Mary Godlee 1897 - 1982 My grandmother saved letters and I am in the process of transcribing them. I became obsessed with finding out about the people who appear in the letters, close and distant family and friends. This photo was amongst files of photos and is referenced by a 1925 July letter and it was exciting to see these women, who I had met in the letters. My great aunt, Aunty Mary, (Hazel Mary Godlee,) is the third from the left.   Charlotte Godlee, my great grandmother, writing to Mary, says:   ‘The girls brought home a good snap of Miss Kentish, also the one of you four in aprons.

She would have organised activities like...

6/52: Maps: Annie Eliza Jackson.

As a child her family moved to Hull and then she, her husband and children lived in Sheffield.   The main source of my information about Annie and her family is the census, every ten years from 1841 to 1901. In the census you can learn the address, who was living in the house, their ages, where they were born and their   occupations. It is possible to build a picture of their lives. Add the google maps and access to historical maps. They begin to come alive.   The pink bit on this map, on the east coast of the UK, is Yorkshire. The bit that sticks out half way down, just under that, lies Bridlington. It is too small to be marked on this map.    This enlarged 1840 map of southern Yorkshire, shows Bridlington,Kingston on Hull and Sheffield   Annie's father was John Jackson and her mother was...
