Our fruit bowl

I've been at home for another day of rest. It's rained and been grey and windy outside, so I didn't mind. I'll be glad to be out walking again tomorrow.

Here is our fruit bowl. I removed some fruit before photographing it! The bowl has been in continuous use since my parents' honeymoon in 1948. They went to Edinburgh and found that there were all sorts of things for sale that they had not seen during the war years. The crockery was intended for the export market but they were allowed to buy some.

This bowl is just part of us and I'm so glad it has survived all these years.

I thought a little smile might cheer the day.
