As a child I used to love it when the door was left open and I could watch the hammers going down. |

as a child postwar, I used to turn the hands of my parents Bonaparte Hat clock just to hear the chimes.........I recall my parents wondering why it needed winding practically every couple of days...... |

I first of all hatched a plot with her - that OH would think that she would be coming a couple of times to catch up on odd jobs - but after the first visit he decided (all by himself that if she could come regularly it would be a good idea). |

Dizzi - as a child when I wakened during the night I used to be comforted by the chime. However, since I inherited it, it has been switched to 'silent' due to other members of the family. |

On our mantel is a Westminster chiming clock bought by my father before I was born (he asked mother if she would like a coat or a clock - she said coat - he loved clocks). |
