Kitchen Shelf!

Not a day for wandering around with a camera - too cold and windy for me and the dog. While washing my lunch dishes I remembered my special shelf in the kitchen where I keep some memorabilia - some bought by me some given by friends. Mugs are from Russia, Holland, Portugal and Spain and the wooden plate being held by Bertie came from Romania.
One of the youngsters in church, who has just started school, had with her the class teddy bear. Each child has the bear for a week and a record is kept of the time spent with the family. The photos and diary I saw of the KS bear show what a well travelled young bear he was. Perhaps I'll take Bertie around with me for a week and see what he thinks!
