The new abode is coming along nicely. Not the house you understand; building work will start on that in a couple of weeks. I am talking about the plot shed with its amply equipped kitchenette complete with grill. You don't know how good that cheese on toast tasted yesterday. You can see that enamelware is very much in vogue and I particularly like the sitka spruce trivets, fashioned from our own felled beast, surely a must for everyone's table in the coming season. You could almost live in a place like this and Valerie often threatens to do so. In fact, it has everything you could want except the kitchen sink
... which is, naturally, Al Fresco.

Dallas, you are as usual excelling yourself here I could almost smell the cheese on toast - in fact your trivets (editors note - look like coasters to me with no supporting legs - remember the word trivet itself ultimately comes from Latin tripes meaning "tripod") look suspicously like two pieces of cheese on toast in the picture. Are you sure you and the Baroness weren't high on carbon monoxide from your porly vented gas ring and you spent three hours chewing on a piece of sitka?
ReplyDeleteYou want to be careful, I can imagine some people might get a bit annoyed by such word pedantry. In any case, for this usage, trivet has a better provenance than coaster as I had no intention of using the spruce to pass a decanter of brandy around the shed.
ReplyDeleteI knew id seen that shed interior before. It was in a one bedroom flat in Littlemore occupied by an odd Walter Mitty character. I heard it had changed recently and 2 more rings were added to the burner to cater for Mrs Mitty's poached eggs which are served with caviar twice a week these days! Dallas - those carrots germinated last week finally and are poking their heads up! spinach and peas starting to appear to so its all happening in Shittingstone land. As for that rhubarb!
