Crane And Sons
There are days in your life that are memorable.
It may be something big or it could be something small.
Today is one of those days.
Montague Crane, Monty to everyone who knows him had his first paid day at work today.
He helped the very obliging Mat Rew at our Richmond Road store with a short after school stint that involved sorting coat hangers and boxes and being a general dogs body. He has made it clear he wants to sell stuff.
I remember my first job. I loathed it and loved it with equal measure. I know he will be the same.
I have to say I am proud as punch. Who knows where it may lead.
