Roughly the size of coconuts

A busy and enjoyable day today, but no time to stop for a thoughtful photograph.

We were in Castle Welsh Crafts today, and they have what is apparently the largest Lovespoon ever carved.

Part of the tradition is to carve the wood to create balls that are trapped. These represent the number of children that the couple may hope to have. These are the balls for the enormous Lovespoon. The balls are roughly the size of coconuts.

Here's a photograph of the Lovespoon in the shop.
