There was a blue sky this morning. I went out after lunch but the clouds had come over. It was still a nice day for a walk. With all the recent rain some of the paths were quite muddy. The tide was out so the water level on the river was quite low. Parts of it looked like it had a sandy beach along the edges.
I called in to see my friend June. She was busy tidying her garden. We sat in the kitchen and had a natter. She showed me this gadget and asked what I thought it was. I don't know so I said I would photograph it and ask if anyone knows. The two pieces of wood slide up and down, as in pictures 1 and 2.
She wonders what this hand held tool is for.
Now I am tired, I walked seven and a half miles today so I will sleep well tonight. Thanks for popping in. Toodle pip. ilona
The first one is an old rug hooking tool, not sure what the pointed long handled tool is
