What I see first thing in the morning

This handsome Bakelite pot was rescued from Cameraman's grandfather's house when he died in 1986. At the time it was used to store his pipe tobacco and it was many years of cleaning and airing before it could be used other than as a keepsake. But after all those decades it now holds my preferred unbleached, plastic free (and therefore compostable) teabags. The pot sits within easy reach of the kettle which I keep in the bedroom. Some things are just essential and a cup of tea to start the day is one such.

A damp day. Might even be wet. More home made ice cream is about to be delivered. Perhaps it's a day for the house and ice cream.
