I just want a small not to expensive collection that I can show and hopefully bring some good memories back and I can learn from their life's experiences.
I have already purchased Crowns, half Crown, double florin, florin, shilling, sixpence, threepence, half pence and a farthing so I am not far off complete for what I need.
I really hope a care home or hospital will let me volunteer when I am better myself and this is an idea I hope to happen even if it is an hour a week.
My late mum had Dementia and I know how important keeping someones mind occupied can be and as much as we tried it is hard for carers.
I may not get the chance to do it but if not it will not be for the want of trying.
I like anything old like steam engines that ran machinery and old pocket watches even though I don't collect them and if I look at an old pocket watch or coin I don't think about value I think about what it was used for and just let my imagination wander.
