I'm sure that reply wasn't there when I was typing. Don't forget half crowns, crowns, florins and guineas. The names have a certain resonance don't they?

You knew you had money in your trousers in those days. Enough copper to plumb a small house.

I remember doing that as a small child... counting out the correct amount, placing them in kraft paper, rolling them and depositing them in the bank (and thus updating a passbook) making both photos tangible to me.

Its funny, I have a jar full of coins that never add up to the same amount no matter how many times their counted....

i decided to google pounds shillings and pence so i could find out how this system works, but i'm not entirely sure i get it. my understanding is that the system was changed in '81, but currently there are 100 shillings in a pound. and pence is the plural of penny, but i don't know how many pence in a shilling.

Brings me to the question - I'd not seen a 1 pound bank note, nope I only had the opportunity to experience it as a coin (and darn are they heavy once you get a couple a quid in your pocket.)

For this collage there is a warm and nice light on both pictures. Lily seems to have a great collection of dry plants but Ronnie might prefer fresh ones... Excellent montage.

If you are on separate coast perhaps an image to do with the time difference, if that hasn't been done already.

You should have something a bit more universal maybe rosemary? Basil. mmmm now i've just made myself hungry for tomato pie with fresh basil... Delicious.
