[lace] Ghosts

[The Browns]

Dear Spiders,   Here is a Christmas Tale to believe or not.   For some 
twenty years we lived in a house built in  1610-'20.   Although my 
husband and I  never saw them, our two daughters both said that they had 
seem people in the house dressed in old fashioned costumes.   In one 
case a man sitting at my dressing-table and the other a family.  
Occasionally one would feel that someone was watching over your 
shoulder  or  had passed by in the house.  We always said that since 
they had come back  after death they must have been happy living in it 
and therefore one should not be afraid of them, but welcome them .
After being in  the house for some years we decided to remove the 
Victorian alterations.  In one  wall as  we  went back to the orginal 
laths and plaster we found a small key - put in as a good luck charm.  
So when we replaced  the plaster we included a Sawbridgeworth 10th 
anniversay bobbin, a lace bookmark and details of who we were.   
Hopefully sometime in the future, they will be found and add to the 
history of the house.
So from a very dull Sawbo',  compliments of the season to one and all, 
and hoping that we will really  have a peaceful New Year. Sheila and Alan
