A wonderful first Christmas with my new grandson. I gave him these authentic Asham two-tone leather shoes. In return his parents gave me this children’s curling book, complete with crinkly pages for infants and toddlers, from Purple Potato Books (on Etsy). Adorable!

Many in my extended family served in either WW1 or WW2, including my father, but on Remembrance Day I particularly remember my Uncle Ken, terribly wounded on August 1 1944, and Leslie’s Uncle Charlie, my cousin Frank Paulley, and Bernice’s brother Don who did not come home. #LestWeForget

Just received this lovely Leonardo Momento Magico fountain pen from @laywines.bsky.social in Toronto. Piston filler, inked with Diamine Majestic Blue, my favourite ink. Writes beautifully. The size fits my hand well and I love the ink window on the barrel. Beautiful pen.
