“Twenty-One Letters Written To A Near Relative”, is the title of this little book that I found inside a ruined workhouse. The letters inside are dated 1777.
Two hundred years later I found it under a pile of leaves in the corner of a huge dormitory.
Now thirty years on I still look at it and wonder whose hands have held it.
My son gave me this beautiful leather bound sketchbook for Christmas.

I shall fill it with drawings and little bits of writing, I wonder if anyone will hold it years from now. Like telephone wires across time.”

How amazing! I walked through Wind House In Shetland and 'felt' the previous owners wondering whose hands placed the brick work. I think a diary would be even far more personal....
Can you find out more history? Seems incredible ( as too the art works too!!)
Happy new year!
