The illustration is not mine, but worth sharing. This is my dad’s breakfast bowl designed by J. A. Robinson and dating to the late 1920s. Hand-painted in enamels bearing the signature J. A. Robinson below the illustration of a young girl in 1920s dress holding a plate of berry fruits, The rhyme on the bowl reads “Gooseberry Raspberry Strawberry Blackberry Tell me the name Of my young man” and around the rim are some letters of the alphabet (A to L separated by 4 small illustrations of berry fruits. The letters are painted on indentations in the rim intended for placing fruit stones.
It is lovely, and it makes him (my dad) so real again.
The Diary

Lucy found a bird with a hurt wing. She took it home and gave it some TLC. She kept a diary of the bird’s progress. A week later the bird was healthy to find its way. Lucy was content for helping the little guy.

Last week my kids found a baby crow with a hurt wing in our front lawn. Sadly it didn’t have the same fortune of the bird on illo above. We took it to the vet hospital but it didn’t survive.
