Time of the Year
After seasonal presents are opened on the 25th of the month there is always paper and ribbon left around. Often enough these discarded wrappings are just binned without a great deal of thought or examination - stuffed into a black plastic sack.
Some are just too good to abandon like that.
Here is a piece of silver ribbon which has caught the light from the kitchen lamps and picked up the warm colour to add that lovely golden glint.
Do you ever wonder if the wrapping isn't more interesting than the contents?
And after all the excitement of present opening, the clearing away, what better than to have a mug of tea? This is mine without milk!
And the mug?
Spied whilst on holiday, this was one that I particularly liked especially with the small cottage picture taking up the theme of the outside mug decoration. Make a good present - I thought.
And so bought by T for her Dad and stored until the 25th.
After a careful wash this is the mug's first filling. It's huge holding nearly a pint if filled to near the brim!
I really like the condensation on the rim and the bubbles in the liquid.
