I haven't Friday Fived for a while, but this week it's old things, which is very much my jam. (Also, yes, I've had a day off and company and I am so much happier for it

Some interesting answers! Someone said jewellery and I realised I’ve probably got some inherited stuff that’s early 1800s that I forgot about.

It's been a really interesting one to read other people's answers, hasn't it?

I don't have any jewellery much; a couple of lockets from my granny's teens I think. She lost a lot in a burglary, which is sad. Nothing expensive, but still fun to have those associations.

Goodness, yes, the Ishtar Gate is impressive.

So beautiful. The first time I went to the Pergamon museum I didn't really know what was there apart from the Pergamon altar itself (it's on a joint ticket with other museums, so I was touristically stamp-collecting, if you know what I mean!). I was knocked sideways by so many of the exhibits, but the Ishtar Gate more than anything else.
