Juice

 Today's pressing is good so far...the apple is quite dry which will balance the sweetness of the wild pears...

The gutter man came and vacuumed the gutters..with a strategically placed camera up top and his phone by the handle...so you could watch the progress! And no ladders., so a lot safer...and you can't use a ladder around the greenhouse.

I am trying to find the identity of a small box.. possibly Japanese? 


It needs a slight clean...the brass is around a wooden box liner. 

I'll take a few more photos tomorrow.

Now it has gone late... chatting on messenger and WhatsApp with friends and there was the time gone!!

'Night all xx

...I always hated cleaning out the gutters, so we had leave guards installed. So far they are working well.

Hard to see the pattern on your box, but it's deer hunting - possibly Middle Eastern? Unusual. Would look lovely polished up a bit. Not so it's brand spanking new shiny, but a gentle rub with 0000 grade wire wool.

I like the Oriental box.

Gutter clearing is a full time job for us here in Autumn!

That box is pretty. I called my gutter guy, too. Tis the season.

The lady on the lid is definitely wearing a kimono..so I should think Japanese...the style points that way too.. although tigers make me think Indian...I will post photos when I have cleaned it

Cleaning the gutters is important. A friend had not cleaned gutters and there were small oak trees growing in the debris. She now has leaf guard installed which eliminates the need for cleaning. The installer said she was lucky water did not back-up and flow down inside walls.
That is an interesting little box. It might make a nice gift for someone that collects boxes.

Love that box. It's an intriguing mystery.
