WHAT IS YOUR PRECIOUS THING?
WITH BETH MT (HOLA SOBER SOCIAL MEDIA MANAGER)
My precious thing is this Vase that I was given by my Nana around 13 years ago. At the time, I was feeling very lonely. I lost my Mum when I was young, I lived miles away from my family. My marriage was not great and apart from my children. I felt completely lost.
When my nana presented this vase to me, I was beyond touched. Because you see she didn’t just buy it. She had to save her Ringtons Tea Vouchers (a northeastern tea company that has traditionally delivered your tea to your home) for months to be allowed to purchase it. The vase itself, has drawings of all the northern cathedrals on it, including our precious Durham Cathedral. Anyone who comes from Durham is immensely proud of the cathedral. It means so much to us.
The fact that she had to put in so much effort to get this for me and, that it felt like I was taking a little bit of the north home with me, meant the world to me. She died shortly after giving me this, but I still have this vase and with that a reminder of her love and her knack for knowing exactly how to make me feel better.
I will treasure it forever.
Lots of love Beth xx
