Staying with my Aunt Grace this last week was almost like taking a step back in time.When Linda and I were children, we used to go and stay with her and the cutlery and crockery in this image where what was used then so it all must be at least 60 years old.
The bedrooms reflected times gone by as well with old fashioned white cotton sheets, white candlewick bedspreads, wire wove mattress base on the bed,white cotton pillow cases tied with cotton tape, rather than the envelope style pillows we have today and wool blankets.
The washing machine broke down just as I arrived and there was a suggestion that we revert to the wringer washing machine that Aunt Grace is so proud of because it still works, but fortunately a modern automatic was bought to replace it.
I did miss not having a dish washer and microwave but all was well.
All in all a very interesting trip down memory lane.

Ho! I would have liked to see your wringer washer on, shame.
Well, I did put on a brave face and say that if that was what they wanted to use I would be willing, but I was glad that it did not happen.
I have used one but not since my 'teen years so that really would have been a step back in time for me.
