Well, that’s what Mrs Doyle would tell you anyway, but a good old cuppa tea can put anything right here in Ireland. This kettle is not a museum piece but is used night and day in an elderly relative’s place, heated by the solid stove below.
Such traditional images are fast disappearing, speeded up by the Celtic Tiger. Currently reality bites.
Have a great weekend and enjoy your cup of Barry’s, I mean tea.

Even on a hot day a cup of tea has the ability to refresh. A simple, but very effective image.

Thank you so much, effective is way more important than being simple or detailed. 😃

Maybe it’s making a come back. R and I are currently looking out for a kettle to keep on our woodstove. A unique and modern design – he is an architect, after all. It may take us a while to find the right one…

Reminds me of one of my Aunt’s kitchen where she cooked everything on an old wood burning stove and kept a pot on top to boil water. It definitely is an essential thing to have in one’s home.

Glad to hear we seem sophisticated by using a kettle as opposed to a pot 😉🍀

I think I am one of a very few who did not own a kettle until about 3 years ago. (I’m 35 now) If I ever needed boiled water, I would always boil it in a pot on the stove (not very often)
Love the picture, reminds me of old times…

A special kettle .. Great shot MM. My auntie used to have a stove like that. Made the best scones ever. The smell if the wood burning was unforgettable. 🙂

I remember kettles like those – I think the handle reaches the same temperature as the contents 😉

In a shot to appear soon you will notice a towel hanging on a wire above the stove. This is to protect the hand from that handle. Enjoy your weekend Robin, MM
