Cleaning The Silver!

In Dad's kitchen drawer is this collection of lovely

silver spoons. My mother was interested in

antiques and would have both inherited some

of them and bought others as treasures from 

various places. There were all incredibly tarnished

and looking very sorry for themselves, especially

the one on the far left that had been in the salt jar.

I decided I would polish them...

It brought back childhood memories of the days

when we had a lot of silver... Silver tea services...

Silver trays... Silver cutlery sets... Silver serviette rings...

And they were all regularly polished...

Usually on a Saturday...

I wonder if your family had such rituals?

So I got out the 'Silvo' and polishing

clothes... And ended up with lovely clean

shiny spoons... My favourite is the little

round salt spoon. The one on the left

that has been in the salt jar is very tarnished...

I couldn't get that one clean.

I don't have the polishing bug a any more...

Once was enough!
