Bits of pieces.

Some things are necessary ~ & they will never be particularly pretty. Presently they are not even usable as our electricity is not hooked up to the kitchen ~ & won't be for some weeks yet though we have discovered what is taking the lad so long. Having arrived, left, & returned without doing very much @ all the lad confessed the kitchen was a good excuse not to have to sleep @ home.  Apparently here, minus a baby squawking through the night, is far more peaceful.  Plus he gets in plenty of fishing.

Work is still in progress so though I have put the new pots & pans in their drawer  we are still waiting for the final clean up & preparation.  Until then ...

 Meanwhile...Today we went inter island visiting to catch up with church members which was very nice but completely exhausting but we got home in time to collect our big parcel.

 My lovely blue & white willow~ware has arrived!  When everyone is home there are 7 of us before we count in any extras: wives, friends, grandies...so when the Moth ordered he ordered 2 sets which gives us an 8 seating & a few spare from what is left of the old incomplete set.

So, I'm unlikely to ever actually use the tea cups with their saucers but they're pretty. The little saucers will be wonderful for bible study morning teas & I am so tired of mismatched everything! So there you have it!  Eventually I will have a complete kitchen. ☺
