I inherited from my grandmother, a lot of 'picture spoons' - the ones with 'interesting' handles. I got a load off my mum too, she collected them. And do you know how many I have now?
None. Not one. I used to have one with a windmill handle, a 'Manniquin Pis' spoon, various Canton badges from Switzerland... where the hell did they all go! I mean, my mum's collection was quite extensive and I got nearly all of it when she died. And it's really only just occurred to me that none of those spoons are still with me. But they were quite distinctive, so wouldn't have been thrown out or casually discarded.
So, where the hell are they?
