I think most of you will have seen this. It's Ann's English version of a Nuremberg kitchen. <i>It;s becoming rather crowded, but I think this type of toy probably looks better for being a bit squashed. You'll have to embiggen it to see it well.</i>Mikehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15107533550298517814noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7644275821862159476.post-47844617453745174192020-07-17T15:36:00.001+01:002020-07-17T19:45:05.404+01:00Friday . <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Front Hall of (fairly) new home. The child's windsor chair to the right of the picture, belongs to grand daughter Lucy, and is the first restoration job I did after we moved in here last December. Sarah drove over here this morning and ran Ann into Ipswich Hospital this morning for her eye injection. Sarah has spent the day with us, and just started her long drive home to Milton Keynes. Hope she remembers to phones us when she gets home (she usually does).Been a good day.<br />

What a weird world we seem to be living in at present. The whole town seems to be something of a 'ghost town ' now. Earler this week, walking across the market place, there was ONE car parked in the town centre. Glad we saw it. In a few years time we shan't believe it. Must knock off. Ann's calling me from the kitchen to lunch. </div>

Speaking of Ann -must record that yesterday (for the second time since we've all been under house arrest, Ann has cut my hair, and trimmed my beard- no barbers are open in town, so (all bar the moustache, though) Ann did the job, adding to her wifely skills, and I must stress that she aint at all a bad tonsorial artist !!!!!!!!!!!!!</div>
