Friday smile

Home grown veg!

I only have two small raised beds so don't imagine a huge allotment full!

BUT - it's always nice just to be able to nip into my garden and pick a handful of rocket or a few fresh herbs.
This week I have a tiny bunch of dwarf French beans and a few little beetroot.

 I am roasting the beetroot and will chop up the beans and steam them to go with a homemade meat pie that I am making for tea later. YUM!

The other thing that made me chuckle was the memory that came to mind as I chopped up a cereal box so that I could save the useful bits of card.

"Nothing funny about that!" I hear all the paper crafters say.

No, but it reminded me of when I was about 4 or 5 years old - that was in the 1950s!!
Soap used to come wrapped in a nice piece of crisp paper inside the trade wrapper.
I used to love unwrapping a fresh bar of soap and saving this small scrap of paper to write and draw on.  We didn't have much spare cash for drawing books and notepads.  
Just imagine the children of today having to do that.  ("Notebooks" were little books with lines on the paper in those days!!)
Happy days!

Have a great weekend.
