You, me and the kitchen sink

Good morning everyone!  Today's quaint kitchen proves to me, yet again, how wonderful and diverse we all are.  Today we are visiting Bovey Belle's kitchen in Wales.

She writes:

"We live in an old Welsh farmhouse in Carmarthenshire, West Wales.  The date over the front door says 1718, but parts of it go back hundreds of years earlier.

I don't have a dishwasher - we wash up by hand.  The Belfast sink is really useful as it's such a good size.  The old teak surround is Edwardian or Victorian and came from a reclamation yard - my husband cut it to size.

As you can see, I collect old china - mostly from car boot sales, though a few bits have come from auction and the Portmeirion china over the sink were gifted individually as wedding presents.

The big inglenook fireplace has our stove in it which is the heart of the house on a winter's day.  The copper and brass takes some polishing but helps to dress the room and I love old things."

Please don't forget to comment.  A comment is like payment for the time taken to post, and in this case in sending in the photos.  Many of us were enthusiastic about this series, so make sure all the photos get a good number of comments.  I don't want any of the ladies sending in photos to regret joining in.  Thank you friends.
