Gift



Middle daughter came home yesterday with this teapot stand for me- she hand-made it in woodwork class. Isn't it just beautiful?

She has only been doing woodwork for 3 weeks, as one of her Transition Year options. Hubby thinks that she has inherited my Dad's talent- he was a cabinet-maker who became a farmer at age 65!


I'm looking forward to making a big pot of tea at the weekend, and parking it on this stand, just like this.
It will be a 3-generation thing: the teapot belonged to my mother, tea made by me, and stand made by my daughter.
And the other task I've set myself for the weekend is to learn how to crop photos- I really wanted to cut out that bright light reflection in the first photo, but anyone who could show me is gone to bed. Tomorrow, though, I will do it. I have to now, cos I said it here!
Have a nice weekend everybody.
