Give Away

In honour of my having reached

100+followers I thought I would like to give away

a few Welsh Goodies

The person who is my 100th follower is having a seperate parcel of Welsh goodies

She is Marmepurl

The picture above is a Welsh Lovespoon

The custom of giving lovespoons as tokens of affection was widespread from the 17th century

The spoons, no matter how elaborate are carved from one piece of wood.

The different symbols on the spoon have different meanings.

Nowadays they are given as a token

of gratitude or respect

Along withe the lovespoon there are

A couple of Welsh tea towels

and

a Welsh oven glove

and a few other bits and bobs



On the evening of June 1st

(birthday of one of my grandsons!)

I will put all the names of my followers,

who write and say they would like this gift,

in a container and get someone to take one out.

Thank you all

for deciding to follow me

and

for all of your helpful and kind comments.
