A History of the World,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
During the 2nd World War when my father was fighting in Belgium,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he was billeted with a family in Aywaille and our families have stayed in touch ever since. When I was born,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], in 1950,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],their family trade being shoemaking,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], they sent me a gift of a pair of hand crafted baby shoes (in pink,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],not blue,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], as per Belgian custom!) These were never worn,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but put away as a keepsake until,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], in the mid-sixties/early seventies,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], with the families managing to meet up for the first time since the war,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], they took the shoes back with them and had them copper plated. These were eventually presented back to us and have become something of a family heirloom,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], me now being a grandfather myself. They will obviously be passed on to my daughter,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and eventually,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], my granddaughter,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], together with the story of how they came to be in our posession,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a permanent record of two ordinary families' attachment which came about as a result of a cataclysmic world war. Who knows how far down the line they will be passed and the story kept alive.
