While ironing this morning I realized my Morphy Richard’s iron will be 56yrs old in March this coming year.! My bread board is the same age. Both were wedding presents . The “cut glass “ trifle bowl I use every Xmas was bought in Woolworths for 2/6 56 yrs ago too but wasn’t a wedding present.
Has anyone else old wedding presents they still use?

I have a small bride & groom Ladro figurine from my mum, 5 remaining champagne glasses from a set of 6 from my aunt & uncle and a China jug from Galway Ireland from a lifetime long friend of my mum. All now 41 years old and precious.

Lovely memories.

What to do with our plethora of other Lladros?

Seems ironing boards are very resilient as I still have my original one from 1970, along side the laundry basket, my pyrex mixing bowl, the wooden rolling pin and several wooden mixing spoons. So many memories tied up in mundane objects.
