Willow Patterned weekend

I went back to the ancestral homelands on the weekend... ( St. Andrews)

1. My father has decided all the crockery at the Snuggery should be 'willow pattern' and put out a call for donations

2.He asked me if I could plug up the hole in his "favorite teapot"; I couldnt decide whether it had been neglected or loved-to-bits --or a sort of bitter-sweet combination of those two treatments which seems familiar...

3.An old cow bell - with a great frog-motif maker's mark

4. locals chowing down
