time on my hands

A piece of history. At the tender age of 11, my first time piece was a pocket watch not too dissimilar to the one shown above. My parents insisted on this when I started at my local grammar school. How things have changed in one short lifetime.

    A lot safer too! :) When was the last time you were nearly run over by your watch?!

  • Phil Deaves replied

    Indeed…although I did get very close to some trains earlier this year…but I guess they are bit more ‘predictable’.

    Yes but trains are still dangerous! :) You be careful out there! :)
