tin toys

I've had enough of the snow now, pretty as it is maybe through the window, it's starting to get in the way. Today is the day to take down and put away Christmas decorations, I want to put the snow away too!

I must tell you how kind Kathie from Massachusetts is, she sent me a key. It's a key for my wind up, tin toy, Russian dolls. Thanks to Kathie I can now watch my pair of Russian dolls rotate and twirl.

I bought two Russian wind-up dolls yesterday. One of the dolls has '80 MOCKBA' printed on its head-dress, maybe its a souvenir from the Moscow Olympic games in 1980. I haven't got a key to wind them up but I guess they spin round and their heads bob about, I'll just have to imagine their gyrations for the moment!
