A black, cast iron bakestone on a hob, with eight Welsh cakes on it. This one isn't mine though.

   I've been emptying my mother's house after she passed away in March. It's a very sad but necessary process.

   One of the happier aspects though is that I've inherited her bakestone. I've got my own but making pice ar y maen (#Welsh Cakes) on hers is a totally different thing.

   My dad used to work in an iron foundry. He took my grandmother's stone to work and hand cast a copy for my mother, which she used constantly. This one very special, magical object holds so much #connection to my family. ❤️
