Little onions

Along with a couple of colleagues I've been reading Dostoevsky's The Brother's Karamazov and one of the colleagues was retiring and I wanted to thank him for the support he's given me. So hence the onions, which I used to make a card for him. In the story one of the characters relates a Russian tale which involves a little onion - the giving of a little onion was an act of kindness so it seemed appropriate. I will miss him very much.
