Should read "raddled" although if anyone wants to buy tickets, I supposed a raffle might be possible........

Please excuse the raffles old bag reflected in the mirror, just a random passer by that I called in to help (I sprayed her down with Dettol before letting her in, obviously) blush

On the TV unit, I've got 5 cat ornaments (and currently 2 Mother's day cards, one from each son today) and a framed photograph of my eldest son and his 2 little girls. Everyone who knows me knows there are 2 loves in my life - family and cats.

A clock, two candle sticks with candles and two 'vintage' picture frames framing photos of my son's wedding. On the hearth are two more similar picture frames framing pictures of the grandchildren (of course!).

On the radio on Tuesday at 4.00pm there is a programme called ‘The Hidden History of the Mantlepiece’.

My Mantlepiece has on it

A small silver elephant
A soapstone elephant
2 small glass ornaments
An American pottery vase with 4 black horses on it.
An old American clock with a glass front with a partridge on it
A much loved family teddy in a bow-tie

What’s on yours if you have a Mantlepiece ?
