As a portrait artist, I save memories.
My friend Val, I knew when I lived in England recently sent me a birthday letter. She currently lives in Ireland. I lived on the Essex Coast for eight years. My ancestors “Duffield” are from Hilgay, Norfolk, UK just an hour or so north of where I lived. They were mostly farmers and lived in this lovely market town / village.
“A couple of days ago I set off with my daughter Mandy in her smart car to pick up some horse manure for the garden. We managed to lift two sacks in the back and rushed back to mine to off load and disinfect her car. I don’t think she will be up for doing this again!! The bag of horse manure had come from a company producing bird feed, etc called W.L. Duffield & Sons, Norfolk. I planned to send you the label, but it was rather smelly”
