Last bits

It occurred to me just now, as I scraped the last bit of honey out of the jar, that I have lots of bottles and jars with little bits in them. I have jars of hand cream, some which go back at least 3 years. There are bottles of body lotion, some from Boots which must be 5 or 6 years old. I have chocolate that is a couple of years old, and some that I have had when we moved from Scotland in 2000. There is a tin of Kendal Mint Cake that goes back to at least 1997. And there is some crazy pasta from when I worked at Habitat in 1998. And so on. All these things have about one portion left, which I just cannot bring myself to use up, it just seems so final. However back to the honey, it was a gift from my friend, Niki, and was lovely and I felt quite sad to finish it off. Tomorrow morning, I think I will pour my breakfast cuppa tea into the jar and get the last bits of honey goodness. Then the empty jar will go into a place of honour. But behind it, is a jar of Greek Pine honey from Tesco that I bought in 2006 and it has the barest of scrapings in it. It will be for a very special day.
