Suziewoozie, I have pairs of Nordic socks from Norway, they are so cheerful to look at and I can't for the life of me cover them with slippers, which I hate. As for salt we are a salt free house as well, Mr Barmey has to have a low salt diet so we don't have any. But I do have a secret stash that I gathered from a salt field in Cambodia. I was a bit worried about flying home with a little bag of white stuff in my luggage but I wasn't stopped. Funny enough Mr Barmey was and asked why does he go to Cambodia every year via Amsterdam and Bangkok and his luggage was searched. I can't show a picture of my cushions because I am afraid they are dirty after our wayward teenage cat stepped on most of them after being out.
