Derek,
I loved your 'old' kitchen (c/w muckle clock) - such a warm, friendly and cosy room - but the 'new' one looks very nice indeed, although I was a little puzzled by the vending machine ........... then I realised that it is your fridge/freezer adorned by magnets and a year planner!
After several visits I can, alas, find no photos to contribute which include both the clock and me!
Take care,
Ham.
