We slid open the glass panes for the first time on Sunday. The cats can only go out onto the balcony when the glass is closed

We have a spectacular kitchen. Our previous ones were both very old. For the first time in my life, I have a dishwasher!

These two need a good clean and polish, but they have followed me on my travels since I was a teenager. My German grandfather made them by hand in 1920 and they are the only pieces of furniture that I have had in every single home I have had. One they are all cleaned up, I we will figure out what to put on it.

One of my printer’s trays in the kitchen, filled with the little Fimo animals I collect, and tiny mementoes from my travels.
