All l seen as he passed by was a flash of red, filling the ute and hanging out the back.
He said "Mum l have bought you something, and l know you will love it "
What a surprise ! A 7 foot 2 inch tall Santa Christmas Stocking.and l did love it.
He explained that the middle Hotel was being revamped, or modernized,-- in other words anything old was being thrown out.
This is what happens in Australia, we don't seem to be like other country's, and save our heritage especially like the european country's do we pull old buildings etc. down.
That is how l bought my 100 year old church pew (as l told you in a previous blog )
They had them replaced with fold up chairs.
The gorgeous little chapel does not look the same without the church pews.
But l now own an over 7 foot tall christmas stocking, and it was used for the Football Raffle before Christmas, filled to the top with christmas toys,bottles of wine etc.
Every body wanted to win this raffle,especially the children.
Thats why the stocking was so familiar to me,as it was always down the street, and l would buy a raffle ticket every year.
lt has been stored for over 30 years but in excellent condition.
l will add another picture when it is full in 3 months time
