A day like the Curate's Egg . . . good in parts, and Baking

 Positive things from today:  the old Doblo has been collected to go to scrap, plus a hugely heavy old cast iron oil fire which I knew we couldn't shift on our own, and a few other random bits of metal which hadn't already gone to the Tip.  Plus we got paid more for the car than expected, so a real bonus.  We'd have been happy to give it away, just to get rid of it.  






This is the little Arts & Crafts lamp we bought this week.  I need to give it a little clean up as there are noticable sharp dark streaks down the canopy/lid of it on one side.



This lovely old French ship's lamp has been carefully packed away ready to go to the new house.  We have a couple of these.


    I spent a lot of today in the kitchen, baking.  I made a Chocolate Apple Cake, Apple Dappy, and a big Granary loaf, and then Beef Cobbler (with cheesey scone topping) for our evening meal.  We will have the other half of it tomorrow night.
