Hubby went off today with Son, Son-in-law (not the pregnant one) and several other golfers on their much anticipated bi-annual trip to . . . Lincoln. There they will indulge in numerous rounds of golf, loads of male silliness, and presentations of trophies of a dubious nature, amongst them this 
wooden spoon, created over two weeks by husband. It was sprayed, varnished, lettered and lacquered lovingly. This act of creativeness was carried out in here - my dining room! 
Yes,you're right, there is no dining table, only c***! No bother, its only been like this since we moved in, in 1991. Since then we have only hosted three 18th birthday parties, two 21st birthday parties, one 40th and one 50th birthday celebration and one 25th wedding anniversary. Not forgetting numerous children's parties. C'est la vie!
