Great idea, Pete!

My Mum likes writing. I'm going to give her a big book of blank pages. She can stick photos & mementoes in it and write little stories about her life.

Hmmm... I'd better get her something else as well. That present sounds like it's more for me than for her.

Brings back memories of when I was an audio typist.

This is a brilliant idea, but just be wary of when you're using the dictaphone, because I tried this and when the person knew that I was recording them they wouldn't talk. You need to hide it discreetly.

I also think it's a great idea for a gift Peterd, wish I had bought one when my mam, dad and Aunts & Uncles were around , I have made notes of my memories of times past and family gatherings in my family history.
