As a child we lived near the Midford family, my Mum was great friends with Phyllis and I was friends with her daughter Robina. Robina and I had some wild holidays in the Lake District as teenagers! Robina married had twins and moved to the USA, followed by Phyllis a few years later. We all kept in touch, and I visited Robina a few times in the USA. My Mum and Dad decided to go to the USA for a months holiday staying with Phyllis and Dad a keen hobby artist painted a picture to take with him as a gift.
I am so please to have this painting returned to me by Helen, Robina’s daughter, it certainly has travelled some miles!

Your Dads painting is so good, can see where you get your talent from for crafts. The painting would make a lovely Jigsaw Puzzle
