I love this post. No words needed really, save to remark on Tity's use of the word "mending". It's such a odd word to use, such an old fashioned word really. Nobody fixes things these days. It's all discarded and replaced with new.
I don't know, but there is something comforting about someone taking the time and care to mend something, that instils confidence I think, or is it the unintentionally implied innocence?
Perhaps it's just me feeling nostalgic for a previous life.
Bonjour Miranda ! Je suis "atterri" chez Toi en arrivant du Manoir de Willow ! Je découvre Ton blog... Il y a beaucoup à lire ! Je vais revenir Te voir... A plus tard ! --------------- Miranda Hello ! I "landed" You arrive at the Willow Manor! I discovered your blog... There is a lot to read! I'll see you back... See you later !
In Africa (I am ex-Africa....) they MEND everything, waste nothing that we would usually throw without thought and use everything twice/thrice or until it falls apart in exaustion...Tyre mending is therefore not an excuse for second hand wordage, but a comment on socially induced thrift!!!
