Tim's kitchen is full of all sorts of whimsical items he has acquired over the years.
A green china vessel, maybe a small vase. But it has a striking resemblance to Tim!
A gravy boat with a pouring spout at each end. One spout is normal, but the other one has the inlet well down inside the vessel. If there is a layer of fat floating on the top, this spout will avoid it, since it is pouring gravy from lower down in the liquid. Isn't that clever?
For the person who likes two boiled eggs for their breakfast, a double egg holder.
Still on the egg theme, this ornament shows a boiled egg reading the newspaper.
A gadget for creating square eggs! You put a hard boiled egg inside, once you have removed the shell, and screw the lid down. The egg is forced into a square shape. You have to leave it for a while, and then when you take it out, it is square. (Fans of the BBC comedy series 'The Good Life' might remember the joke about the Ooh-Aah bird, so-called because it lays square eggs.)
A Round Tuit...
Stacking coffee cups which make a figure when three of them are placed one on top of the other.
A small jug in the shape of a cow. Must be for milk!
A couple of 'glug glug' jugs.
A mug with a drawing of Prince (now King) Charles. Tim drinks a toast!
