The Kitchen Clock

I came across the video about a kitchen clock and it struck a cord in me.  It is sweetly sung and about a family, especially the father,  struggling through life to provide for the family.  Watch and listen as I am sure you will enjoy it too.

The humble kitchen clock is an average household item but it sometimes has significance in our lives such as memories of watching the clock for a special event to start or counting down the time to New Year.   I remember many a time when I was young watching our kitchen clock waiting for a date to arrive, and at other times for the Sunday Lunch to come out of the oven.

My family home has had many kitchen clocks but all but one was an analogue clock and frankly I prefer them to digital any day.  The most memorable was a lime green frying pan shaped clock  we had in the 70s.  I wish I had a picture of it to share with you but it is long gone now. I also remember when I was first married and we lived in a Unit with the people above us owning a cuckoo kitchen clock.  Well that took us about a month to get used to and these memories you never forget (or the lost sleep).

I hope your memories are happy ones.
