Very wet

 I managed to pick the last of the rather damp runner beans. Now they are on the greenhouse staging ready to be sorted and dry for both eating and growing next year.

From ten o'clock it "did what it said on the tin"....as forecast, with a yellow warning, cold, very wet and rather windy.

After lunch I had had enough..and saw a FB posting by Nae Sae New....a ribbed rolling pin for pasta...so I said I'd buy it..and went there in the car straight away!!

And found a sturdy hoe head that will fit the handle that my brother has..to clear his block paving drive of weeds....and a thing for making holes by hand with a Wooden handle....and a Quimper blue and white cake/biscuit plate with a cockerel design....as you do when you enter such a marvellous emporium!! 

The rolling pin is made for rolling out pasta...but could be used with clay....

Not much done for the rest of the day.. mainly chatting by message to various people and making a list of things to do when it is hopefully dry tomorrow.

  1. Even though I work in a thrift store, I’m always curious to see other people’s thrift! I’d be curious to see a photo of your rolling pin—
    will you use it for making pasta? Or clay?

  7. It looks like we rein for a spell of chilly, dank weather, with perhaps a few glimpses of sun. I have to stay away from thrift stores.🤭

  9. I'm guessing this purchase is from a second hand/thrift store.
    The treasures to be found are often outstanding.
    Lucky finds GZ.

  10. A rolling pin is so necessary for us people that like to bake, I use mine all the time.

  12. Thrift store rummaging can become quite compulsive - I daren't start looking on FB as well.
