James and Sons (mainly)

Why am I suddenly resuming this blog after ages in abeyance? Because I was alerted today to the fact that somebody new had signed up. This being the case I felt it appropriate to write something.

Having started on a 12 hour per week basis at James and Sons auctioneers (not to be confused with the vastly inferior James Beck auctioneers also of Fakenham) and not really put a foot wrong my hours were increased to 18 per week in mid January, enough for me to sign off Jobseekers Allowance.

As well as my main work as a Data Input Clerk I also do imaging, create text for bulk emails and send out press releases. Friday was a red letter day, when an article appeared in the Lynn News based on one of my press releases. This concerns a rare set of medals, badge and commemorative plaque issued to a King’s Lynn native, private Sydney Doy for service in WWI, which will be going under the hammer on the 22nd of of February at the Maids Head Hotel in Norwich, viewing from 8:30AM, sale starts at 10AM sharp. More detail, including images of all lots, can be found at www.jamesandsonsauctioneers.com.

I am also taking this opportunity to provide you with my own work (images, poster, the original press release, and an easy to read jpg of the Lynn News article.Doy Article Doy Medals Regimental Colours Sydney Doy Doy Poster

I have of course followed all the cricket through the winter. I will be kinder to the England men’s team than most have been lately by saying nothing about their efforts in this post. The women however retained their version of the Ashes. It was particularly satisfying that the runs which took them over the line were scored by veteran skipper Charlotte Edwards.
