Although I'm now looking over at basket and wondering whether a coat of bright paint would be good. Not while plants are inside of course. Once they're finished it might get a makeover. You are such an inspiration!

In my case connecting the aborted PhD and a stint drystone walling is perhaps the most interesting bit ;)Annie Cholewahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17608057589525908147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3532409850252086723.post-63242214878053211772013-02-23T23:47:30.208+00:002013-02-23T23:47:30.208+00:00I have been after one of those dundee cake tins fo...I have been after one of those dundee cake tins for years!!!

Many thanks, Jenny. I'm just going to go off and take a picture of my one and only tin - a blue coronation tin I bought in a bootsale in 1978. I have been ashamed of it for some reason and kept it in the attic. Now I see it's a tin to be proud of (isn't it?)!<br /><br />Love,<br /><br />ShelleySeashellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13359624513025724673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3532409850252086723.post-48289828371812391442013-02-20T18:35:18.984+00:002013-02-20T18:35:18.984+00:00nice to put plants in tins, I've never thought...nice to put plants in tins, I've never thought of that! life sounds good and interesting for you right now!
