Clocks are funny things. Keepers of time and reminders of deadlines but also the markers of anticipation and comforting too. Growing up there was a chiming clock on the lounge wall, the other side of my bedroom wall. It chimed every fifteen minutes and rang out the hour. I loved it, I was used to it but it drove visitors bonkers! I missed when I left home. My grandma Beryl had the same clock and I always thought of home when I heard it chime over the phone. My grandma Margaret has it now and I still take comfort in it’s chimes over the phone.
I haven’t had an actual clock in quite some time. Well, not in this house. When I got an email from Sophie at Purely Wall Clocks about a giveaway, I was straight onto the website. When I saw the Dylan clock in Mint, I loved it. So retro and beautiful. It made me long for a completely retro kitchen, like these ones from Pinterest. Grandma Beryl and the Bestie agree, it’s not a kitchen without a clock and that’s where mine will end up. It’s so lovely and minty and made of metal at the sides and dearly vintage but perfectly suited to non vintage settings. I took some pictures of various spots for your viewing pleasure.
Now, as much as I am enjoying my clock based trip down memory lane (what is it about some objects that just make you time travel? Pun not intended but minorly amusing all the same) I’m sure you want to know how to win one of these clocks! Just fill in the form below…
