I'm fond of coloured and/ or textured glass, maybe because my mum encouraged me to collect sea glass as a child, who knows. Most of it went in the loft when we redecorated downstairs and is still up there. The only thing of any monetary value is a pair of "snowball" tealight holders that I bought very cheaply in a charity shop.
Today's menu should feature:
Yesterday's unfinished dinner of salmon salad, brie and grapes. Fell asleep again.
Half price king prawns and smoked salmon
Ham and cheese omelette hopefully with more salad.

Yes I loved them as soon as I saw them. It was only many years later someone recognised them and said they were collectable. Never had them valued as it's less than £100 and I still like them. Need to make sure my daughter knows so she can sell them once I'm gone though.

I was offered my sisters China, that may have been my Mum's before that. But there's so much of it, including tureens, it takes up 3 kitchen cupboards, and I don't like the pattern, so I declined.
However I still get nostalgic at the old Woolies pattern that was my childhood every day one .Who remembers Hedgerow?

I still have my mother's Hedgerow dishes - medium plates, cream jug, sugar bowl, milk jug and gravy boat. Still have slightly better quality Woolies bone china with an odd brown modernist pattern (Royal Vale) - also my mother's - just cups, saucers, cream jug and sugar bowl. They must be 60+ years old now. Woolies used to make some pretty good china and other household goods. Most of the china I use comes from charity shops though.

We had Alfred Meakin's Sunflower for everyday as I was growing up. Unfortunately as soon as my parents got a dishwasher the pattern disappeared.
When I moved to Southampton there was a very old-fashioned hardware shop nearby which had a stack of the side plates, which we snapped up. Only one left now, rather chipped, onto which we empty out the teapot.

We bought a set of those some years ago. Sadly they didn't last until we got a dishwasher. Very clumsy family.
Sunflowers were my husband's favourite flower so our house has lots of sunflower items/colours. Sadly, none of the dishes.

Just had breakfast of RyVita and Tartex.
Been busy making a chocolate cake to take out with me this afternoon. Obviously I shan't be eating that so will make something I can eat to go along with me. Chickpea pasta with a spinach and ricotta sauce. The spinach is frozen, so it's currently defrosting.

Yesterday had a simple bbq with hubby and son (lamb steaks and 90% sausages, salad)
Then the neighbours all came in for drinks. Impromptu rehearsal for a main celebration we are having in August when we will mark a 90th an 80th and a 70th (among others).
I drank wine which lead me to eat cake..
Today back to normal routine
Skipped breakfast before exercise class followed by coffee (tea for me).
L: pate, carrot, cucumber, roasted veg. Seed crackers, cream cheese
D: lamb steak, broccoli and green beans with avocado sauce (avocado blitzed with yoghurt and a bit of dressing). Coffee ice cream.
Hubbys out tonight and I've just poured myself a second coffee rum!

Oh my, I'm so sorry!@Antje77 come on it's the Monday after! Need a report on the weekend now please
I started a long post early saturday evening, when I'd sent Mark for a half hour nap in the spare room after a great day, from which he emerged three hours later, just before I finished the post.
Not the love of my life but we have plans for a weekend spent at his place in the near future.
Longer update tomorrow (including food!), I have to pick up the oldest daughter of my neighbour at 7:15 tomorrow morning to give her a ride to the ferry before work, and it's 11:15 pm already...
