Old kitchen friends
These kitchen appliances were given to me as wedding presents way back in the (late) 1970s. They have only recently broken down, but I've been loath to part with them. Somehow they are part of the fabric of my family life. They have been well used and gave great service.
My mixer - wonder how many cakes and desserts this has helped to make?
Moulinex Blender - used to have a little tub thingy for grinding things - really useful and well used. Check out the trendy orange trim!
Electric knife - remember them? Also a Moulinex in cream and orange. Great for cutting joints of meat. Somehow I manage with an ordinary knife now!
These old friends, now 40 years old, are off to the tip. Funnily enough, as I was taking these photographs the song that was playing on the radio was "I'll stand by you" by the Pretenders. Dear reader, I will admit that I had a wee tear in my eye - what an appropriate song!
Wonder if my replacements will last 40 years? (I'll never know!) What's your oldest kitchen appliance?
See if you can spot them in this photograph of my "show of presents" which I blogged about here!

I'm not sure if it's a Scottish thing.
I explained that you just set your gifts out and have the aunties round to have a look and a snack/drink.
But I also explained she still has to do thank you cards!
I really dont have anything even close to that old and we were married in the 70's as well xx
