My Favourite Window

Distractions

I have been clearing and sorting my mother's belongings. Her old house - my new house - is 48 years-full of one family's life. There are all sorts of treats; some sentimental like the congratulatory telegram to my mother on the occasion of my birth, others gratuitous like this Paragon fine bone china set - Gainsborough meets Clarice Cliff. Lady Mondegreen thinks she would like to use this  delicate trio at one of her garden parties. Would it be safe in the hands of the Mad Hatter?
