Push The Boat Out

“No More Pyrex!” said Bob last Monday, as we set out for a meander round the charity shops of Downham Market. I love vintage Pyrex, and on this post you can see some of the pieces which live at Cornerstones.

But I agreed, perhaps I do need to rein in my Charity Shop spending***.

But then he came up to me, and said “I know I said no more, but we ought to have a gravy boat!” Our newly-widowed neighbour had come for lunch with us the previous day, and Bob had served the gravy in a rather large yellow jug [it looked better than the alternative plastic Poundshop one]

That was £1 in Fakenham two years ago- so this is an old picture [I do not put large sprigs of rosemary in the gravy]

But on Monday Bob found this boat and saucer, and decided we did need this addition to the cupboard. £1.25

***As a true ‘Mrs Moneypenny super-scrimper’, I have worked it out.

Currently spending round £200 a year - £4 a week – in charity shops.
