    The links are held together with screwed pins rather than the friction ones, from past experience they can be a bit of an unknown quantity till you tackle 'em.

    Partner I lost in 2011 didn't have a great deal of jewellery, what there was I gave to her boy (although thinking back I bought her most of it), think he sold it to go towards a trip to Thialand where he was going to make his fortune... before coming back a couple of months later literally with his 'tail' between his legs lol

    Still got all Mum's stuff though apart from a nice big gate bracelet I gave to one of my cousins.

    Yes, it's weird how stuff turns up, usually when you're looking for something else. Recently found a few old & precious photographs (my Dad was quite a keen photographer back in the day). I've scanned them and passed them round to various family members (sometimes with a 'who's that at the back?' request).

    This one reflects where my interest in cooking probably started

    Don't know where that blonde hair went though.

    Mum always told me I was happier playing with her cooking pots than my toys.
