The Poacher

Today's the day ..................... to go and see Mum and Dad

Travelled up to Edinburgh today to spend a couple of days with Mum and Dad. They have lived in this house for more than thirty years and it is full of familiar things that I have known all my life.

Things like this 'Toby Jug'....... This one is called 'The Poacher' and he is definitely very pleased with himself - presumably because he has caught the big fish which forms his handle.

He is one of a whole collection of colourful characters that have smiled at me over the years.
