Three Wise Monkeys

The Three Wise Monkeys embody the proverbial principle to ''see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil''. As a child, I remember my mum having a brass monkeys ornamental paperweight, but I've no idea where this is now.

Three generations of my family together today. Three of us sitting on the couch after dinner: me, my uncle and second born son. My aunt and uncle are both in their eighties and put me to shame by growing their own tomatoes, peaches, leeks, onions and lettuce, plus my uncle bakes his own bread and cakes. Lots of goodies for us to take home, mind you.
