How one tin led to another!

Within the first week of arriving in England for the next 6 years, I can still see myself at a British vendor's table outside the military base BX, buying my first two tins in England: a red telephone booth & a round red post box - both soon-to-be very common sightings throughout the country. I was so thrilled to be able to live in England that I wanted to be able to go home in years to come, still surrounded with the feeling of living there. Thus began the "tin collection" because wherever we went, I seemed to see a tin with history attached to it. That was the important aspect . . . learning about history because now we could actually BE in the spot where events happened. A lot of my need to bake subsided (more time to hunt around😄🚶‍♀️🚗) because we had so many treats from all the tins, & my husband had enough tea to keep him going for years thereafter!
