The Golden Bed

This was my bed when I was Hero's age, and i remember feeling like a little princess sleeping in it.

It is a late 1800's brass bed that was given to my Mum and Dad by an old family friend. I always new it as 'The Golden Bed'. I can't remember when i stopped sleeping in it, but it has been in the back of Mum's shed for the good part of 25 years! Mum always

We picked it up on the weekend and managed to clean it up a little assemble it for Hero. It was truly delightful to she how excited she was to have her first own bed, and so proud that it was once her Mum's. I got a real kick out of seeing her delight, which took me back in time to how i felt when i first started sleeping in it too.

I would love to know who else has slept in it?
