Yesterday morning, first thing, we motored over to Long Melford, where a monthly antique fair is held on the first Wednesday of every month. It is very much a trade fair, and we purchased, between us, five items. Ann bought a small horn beaker, engraved (rather naively) with a sporting (shooting) scene, and a set of nine silver (William IV) tea spoons, for around (or rather below) their scrap silver value. I thought she perhaps wanted them for one of the offspring, but she said "No. For use. they're good big ones, and we're running a bit short of decent tea spoons."
Being called upstairs, as we should be driving into Ipswich- routine hospital appointment, I think.
More later, I hope.
