The Haul

Will has returned from Scotland and England after two weeks away. Though he had one small suit checked and a backpack as a carry-on, he managed to carry all of this back.

Old photos, clothing, books, a serving tray, candy, chocolate, biscuits, biscuits in commemorative tins for the London Olympics, biscuits in commemorative tins for the Golden Jubilee, a coaster, biscuits in musical tins, plates, tea, coffee, jelly beans, t-shirts, keychain, Scotland local soft drink Iron Bru, magazines, team pennants, my birthday presents, pickle, creamed rice puddings, tea towels, tea cakes, jammie dodgers, tea mini trifle cakes, a pint glass, a coffee mug, and a Winnie the Pooh pencil sharpener.

Some is from shopping around Edinburgh (a pleasure visit) or Birmingham (a work trip); some from his home; the majority from getting to the airport too early before a flight.  Ah, duty-free.

This is just the table:  You should see the 'chocolate drawer' we now have in the fridge. Ahem.
