Time to stir?

#154

Assorted cutlery from Joyce's house at Parramatta! The child's knife, fork and spoon set has a koala motif. The central souvenir spoon is marked "DJ's 125th year: 1838-1963" for the David Jones department store chain's anniversary.

A sense of history

#152
Headstones at Parramatta's Walter Lawry Methodist Memorial Park,
the former Wesleyan Burial Ground (1843-1961).


I spent a good chunk of today in Parramatta, cleaning out the kitchen cupboards and cutlery drawer of a 90 year old friend, wondering if I have just as much junk in mine. (And realising that I do!) So there was an eerie, ironic feeling walking past this former cemetery on a morning tea break.

Amazing spoons, though!
