More blood and a crook

I am currently suffering as I have, yet again, toothache.  On top of that I have just managed to slice the side of my finger with my new ceramic knife whilst making Carl's sandwiches!  Not  a good day, except that Mother did give me my great, great grandfather's crook which is a wonderful piece of history.  He was a shepherd who lived in Shillingstone.

And here is the crook - which is the same one as in the photo.  A lovely bit of history!
