  Anytime I need a &apos;good&apos; cry, I just pop these ones on and feel happiness for people realizing they have a treasure.

  Freya is an old soul, for sure. Even the hat she wore, and her serenity, smartness. Very unique young lady.

  Dining with my step daughters family, her uncle offered to show me his coin collection. The family said &quot; don&apos;t bother her with your old coins&quot;, they laughed at him. I saw the collection and listened to his passion and realised that he had over a million euros in value in his office. He has since died and I have no idea if his family knew what they had.

  I have a third hand story about a man who bought a ring for his girlfriend at a yard sale. It was a gaudy piece of crystal on a gold band. The antique dealer wanted to know if the family who had the yard sale was of French ancestry. The gaudy piece of crystal on a gold band has been missing since 1789. It was stolen from Marie Antoinette&apos;s personal jewelry box when the French peasants looted the Versailles Palace during the French Revolution.

  No greater antique than good ol&apos; Michael Asprin.

  Freya was so mature and well spoken for her age. Very impressed.

  Having a convict in the family, historically speaking, will often bring a twinkle to the eye of a colonial Aussie.

  @ <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DiccfHz8gs&amp;t=1005">16:45</a> Richard Dadd&apos;s desert painting is good,<br>But the fire scene is perhaps one of the best &quot;fire scenes&quot; i&apos;ve ever had the privilege of viewing.

  Watching this was a great hark back to my family Sundays evenings. The &apos;Antiques Road Show&apos; and &apos;That&apos;s Life.&apos; BBC gold. Bittersweet. Many of the specialists and presenters have now passed. One learnt so much and new hobbies in our family - were inspired. <br>My mother loved a bargin, so we were dragged out of bed on many a dreary Saturday morning. We would trail her around jumble-sales and fetes - in church halls and community centres. After watching the lovely antiques, I collected old handbags and loads of broaches, pins and dress rings. I dressed up and played with it all. It is still in my parents attic. <br>I also had a complete Ladybird collection of fairy tales, children&apos;s books with lots of illustrations.<br>One day, I might go up and look for it all. 😊😊😊

  The fire scene when camping in the desert was out of this world! The way the firelight hits people around the fire is magical and at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DiccfHz8gs&amp;t=1365">22:45</a> the image of a person in the fire is mythical i am literally speechless.
