A souvenir

Lisbeth got up very early this morning to go to a Brocante (a sort of good quality car boot sale) in the next village. She wanted to see if the people from whom she bought the clock were there, selling the remains of the things from the woman's grandfather's house.

The reason for seeking them out was to give them this photo. She wanted the young woman to have it as a souvenir, showing the clock that had belonged to her great grandfather, now in situ chez nous. Lisbeth was able to tell her that she loved it and that she intends to keep it exactly as it is, in its original condition. Also, that it was working well and keeping pretty good time.
