Mementoes

It was a beautiful sunny morning and I started out by hanging out#3 son's washing. He'd had a hard day yesterday, was home at 1.30am and out at 7. He's off back to Aber tomorrow so a little bit of tlc does no harm.

Then to work and 2 new starts. That took most of the day and an awful lot of talking.

I've spent the evening doing not very much. Ann old problem has come back and I'm not sure how to tackle it.

The glass on the display shelves is memories. I can tell you where I got every piece, from family, friends, bought myself and then the matching pottery bought on happier times past in Lyons and Spain.

Edit: The memories:
