The Fairy Godmother

Or "it's so good it must be witchcraft". You choose. The advert is from around 1898. But you don't want me to go warbling on about polish for cast iron ranges, do you?

So, today was grand tour of garden centres, sizing things up. and buying a specialist hacksaw to make cutting up pallets to make planters easier.

And the picnic lunch was Science Museum sandwiches, a childhood staple for visits to You Know Where. Wholemeal, egg and chopped tomato, bound with mayonnaise. Should be salad cream, but there are limits! As good as ever, except there weren't buttons to press at the garden centres, to make wheels go round.
