Breakfast Blessing

On the back of the breakfast menu at The Tin Dog guesthouse is a lovely invocation courtesy of the Australian humourist and cartoonist Michael Leunig:

"We rejoice and give thanks for earthworms, ladybirds and broody hens; for humans tending their gardens, talking to animals, cleaning their homes and singing to themselves; for the rising of the sap, the fragrance of growth, the invention of the wheelbarrow and the existence of the teapot, we give thanks".
