Coincidence Of The Golden Memories Hidden In The Jumble

Old books amongst jumble

Here’s a coincidence story received with thanks from Geoffrey G. Amazing how such things happen, some will say that it must have been meant to be – perhaps to generate memories of days gone by.

I was fund raising for our local church group, something I often do, and was sorting out books taken from bags of jumble. As I’m interested in books I skimmed through some of them as I sorted. Sometimes I see books I’d like for which I make an appropriate donation.

I discovered an old book with a certificate stuck inside. Maybe nothing too peculiar about this as books are often given as prizes in schools.

But this one was different because it had been awarded as a prize to my wife by her Secondary School, under her maiden name, over 20 years ago!

When I got home later that day I showed her the book and it was definitely once hers.

She could remember having the book when she lived in Hertfordshire before we ever met. This was over fifteen years ago. She had no idea what had happened to the book since then. She presumed it had been thrown away.

We now live a long way from where she remembers last seeing the book and none of her relatives live nearby.

How this book turned up in a bag of jumble collected for charity and sorted by me is anyone’s guess. But it kindled lots of school day memories for my wife.
