A nice, new to me sewing box....


   

             .......we went to a very small vintage fair on Saturday, and I came back with two treasures.... MINE, not yours Charlotte......(though I now wish I bought the other jelly mould for you, cos you did say you wanted a large home-made candle in a glass dish)
         .......Some of the screws have come loose so Darsh tightened them up for me before I put anything in my new box...


       ....and a glass jelly mould.....


                 ....after shopping in London's Maltby Street area with Charlotte the other weekend, my treasures were cheap, definitely not London prices.


        ..... a bright red jelly is setting as I write....I've even been out and bought myself some cream.  So it's jelly and cream for pudding tonight.  (And coffee with fresh cream tomorrow)
I actually wanted to have go at making blancmange properly, not from a packet, and this little beauty takes away all excuses.
      I remember mum had a mould-rabbit shaped-and we always ate "earless" rabbit shaped jelly, cos the ears always got stuck in the mould.


It's also this time of year again, so there I sat, in the conservatory wrapped in a blanket....


               ....and saw 3 wood pigeons, 2 Jackdaws and 1 Magpie, not even a single robin and there is always a nosy Robin in the garden.  As soon as my hour was up and I sent in my totally pathetic observations....there was 2 robins fighting in the apple tree.
