but its also the place [3]_.
I have so many happy memories of timas spent there: ordinary daily everts such as making breakfast on dark, cold winter
mornings for children [4|_, before sending them off to
school; or special occasions such as homecomings or cooking Christmas dinner. Whenever we have a party, people gravitate with their drinks to the kitchen. It always ends up the Fullest and noisiest room in the house.

out onto two apple trees-in the garden. There's a big, old cooking stove at one end!, and at the other end a wall with a huge notice
