This photo is of my "jijour", the lady who keeps the stairs clean, does repairs etc. She was really really kind to me and took me under her wing, checking I knew where the milk sellers were, checking who was knocking on my door etc. When I was clearing out my flat I gave her some piles of stuff - clothes I hadn't worn, kitchen stuff etc. She was absolutely delighted. When I gave her the two wee ger stools, she said that all these years her and her granddaughter had just been sitting on the floor - she couldn't afford furniture for her house .... Her house is the cupboard under the stairs where you would usually keep the hoover. Hmmmmmm.
On the last morning, she came to visit me and we sat and had breakfast together. It was just lovely - we couldn't really have a conversation, but it was just really nice to sit and eat together.
