On my lawn I have a great 100 pound cast iron kettle from Newfoundland. It's called a 'barking kettle' and I always thought that would be a lovely name for a tavern or tea room. A barking kettle was used for boiling nets with a mixture of coniferous bark and buds to ward off whatever rotted out nets on dry land and underwater. Newfoundland is a world of its own, mysterious, rollicking with wonderful distinctive expressions. When an old Lister diesel fishing boat engine rotted out I heard a fisherman say; 'Well there, m'boy, the arse is gone right out of her'. .
