Old English Enamel Pin - A Friend Is Useful Near Or Far

This enamel pin says "Freond deah feor ge neah; byð near nyttra" in Old English which translates as "a friend is useful near or far" in English. 

The point of this proverb is to teach us that friends are a very valuable thing to have and just because you are separated by distance it doesn't mean you aren't very useful and valuable parts of each others lives and at the same time acknowledging that to have friends around you and close by is all the better.

This proverb along with the other Old English sayings in this range are taken from Durham Cathedral.

Whether it's to celebrate your heritage or because a friend is moving away and you'd like to show your support for a friend beause you're moving away, or you'd like to remind them that they are an awesome friend, or maybe you just like the design, either way, it makes a lovely unique little gift.
