Thank you everyone for all your comments about the moon pic on the last post. I like the fact everyone thought of Moon Face. Funnily enough, I always imagined him to look a bit like this. More of a crescent shape face although this is a rubbish drawing.
In fact, you have all re-kindled memories for me: of sitting listening Mrs White read the Faraway Tree, the smell of plasticine and splintery wooden chairs. The afternoon sun slanting through the jars of catkins and runner beans growing on blotting paper on the window sills. That sleepy feeling just before we put the chairs on the tables ready for home time. Why did we put the chairs on the tables at home time? Or was it just a peculiarity of my small village school?
I also remember sitting in the same classroom listening to the story of Bluebeard. Now who would on earth have ever thought that was a suitable story for 7 year olds?
I've also got a new passion: Lavender chocolate. . Sophie recommended this and Ooo, it's divine ,if you like perfumed foods . . . yum, yum, yum. The blueberry and lavender jam is also a recent discovery and is also a superfood so of course so it can be scoffed guilt free. If anybody has any more suggestions for flowery edible treats please share!!!
{Note: I've only just remembered to put this picture in of the jam and chocolate. . yes, I know, how absent minded . . .now you know what I'm on about!}
Actually I'm in a really foody mood right now . . we're having stewed pink rhubarb and custard for pudding tonight. . . . so pretty. I can't wait. If I carry on eating treats at this rate I am going to end up with a moon face myself!
Here's the latest addition to the Made in Pixieland website . . . notecards printed on recycled paper using vegetable based inks. I always imagine that the printers are squashing cabbages and carrots to get these lovely pigments but no, the truth is a bit more mundane: the inks are vegetable oil based rather than mineral oil. They cost £3.50 per pack of 8 which includes recycled envelopes in a lovely bluebell colour.
