My friend Melissa who lives in Lille is a Chiconamista extraordinaire! We got chatting about my love of vintage Brownie and Guide badges last time we spoke, and she mentioned to me that she'd recently found her old Girl Guide Uniform at the bottom of a trunk of stuff which had been stored at her Mum's house - until now! I begged her to let me have those fab badges - but VERY sensibly she declined! What a hoard of badges - and now over a quarter of a century old (sorry Mel!).
