It was wrapped up in a sheet of old brown music score.
(Which is a lot darker than in the photo)
I do believe that he had the same hair colour as me too.
and I have definitely inherited his nose!
I have had to enlarge this photo so that you can see the little metal disc
It is mottled, and when I turned it over it was shiny yellow brass.
The clock has stopped of course - but it looks pleasing.
I must find something to hang on the tiny hole it is so small its hard to see.
Most of you know that I am rather short of 'blood' relatives - so it will come as no surprise to learn that the only rummaging I have done has all been in my daydreaming mind - and I created Great Grandfather's pendant from bits and pieces
So who is the man in the photo in the pendant?
King Edward VII
Well if you are going to dream - why not dream BIG huh?

Hi Lottie
Fabulous pendant. I have rummaged and found some super old photos of my relatives, but haven't a clue who any of them are! I will email a couple to you if you would like, cos I'd love to hear what stories you come up with!
