Gift Day

How lovely to be able to blip two gifts that we have recently received from friends! The less obvious one, here, is the velvet cloth backdrop which is already proving itself to be worth its weight in gold, and the other is a lovely 1908 first edition of 'Peeps At Many Lands - Egypt' by R . Talbot Kelly, which with our own recent experience of the place makes for interesting and contrasting reading. Oh, and the coffee pots were a present to myself over 30 years ago, suitably enough in Cairo!
