Gifts

The delightful three-year-old next door has been giving me bluebells over the garden wall. Since at least last summer her mum has been trying to teach her not to pick flowers so I did my best to help by thanking her very much but saying that I had enough flowers now. I took my flowers indoors and when I next came out I found a heap of picked bluebells on the soil on my side of the wall. Well, what can I do but put them in a mug?

(The mug was also a gift, from young singers visiting from Bonn.)

Extra for Tivoli. I expect she'll recognise it.
