Gift

I had a nice surprize gift last week. A work colleague had been on a round the world cruise during the last few months, and brought me back four thimbles from various places they`d stopped at. Here`s one of them.



It`s quite unusual in that the design is in relief on the outside of it. You can probably see that clearer in this picture.

Mmmm.... very nice. An around the world cruise, you say? How long did that take? Sounds kinda fun except it seems like it'd be an awful lot of time on a boat.

About three and a half months.

Oh wow. Maybe I should change my travel wishes to include this. It sounds fascinating. Might have to be after the kids grow up. :) Or I could take them with...

I adore your thimble. That was so nice of your friend to think of you all the way around the world!!!

Lovely shots. Do you remember the ``thimble'' episode in `Peter Pan' by James Barrie!!!

No, I can`t say I`ve come across that. I`ll have to look it up
