My hands

Mes mains in French.
Ang aking mga kamay in Filipino.
Mis manos in Spanish.
Mijn handen in Dutch.


My hands are growing old, like the rest of me. They haven't had a manicure in years but they're clever, strong and hard-working. I'm always grateful to them.

The ring, an early 51st birthday treat to myself, was made by a wonderful jewellry maker from Greece named Katerina.
