First through the barn doors is Sue Lock, with her daughter Hannah. They have brought Sue's grandmother's leather midwifery bag. They fear the battered old bag is a hopeless case, but Suzie believes she can nurse it back to life. Sue's grandmother worked selflessly for decades as a midwife, delivering hundreds of babies during air raids and in the early years for the NHS. Next, art conservator Lucia has the pleasure meeting Alice Bird from Devon, who has brought in one of her late father's artworks. Robin Rae was a prolific artist and was still painting into his nineties. The piece, which is entitled The Storyteller, was painted when Robin was just 21 years of age. Alice was gifted the painting when she was a similar age. However, it incurred extensive damage when it was transported to France, much to Alice's despair. The day's final visitors are mother and daughter Cheryl and Dawn Sandford. They have come to meet jeweller Richard, carrying a precious family keepsake that belonged to Cheryl's beloved nan. The gold brooch holds a picture and a lock of hair from her favourite brother, Billy, whose life was lost serving in the First World War. The brooch is so damaged it can no longer be worn, but Cheryl would love to enjoy it and pass it down to her daughter and granddaughter when the time comes. Written by Steve Crook See less
