This warmer, overcast, morning we transported another full car load to Efford Recycling Centre and returned with
a dusty plastic framed mirror; two glazed plant pots with holes in their bottoms; and a wooden framed glass lantern in need of some refurbishment.
Afterwards I made a slight inroad into my iPhotos stock of pictures by culling all the pictures in
Once night fell, Jackie photographed her refurbished lantern.



She had cleaned it up, re-fixed a cracked glass panel, inserted a set of solar lights by way of a door she had opened, freed and firmed up the catch.
This evening we dined on tasty baked gammon with piquant mustard sauce; boiled potatoes; firm cauliflower and cauliflower cheese; moist spinach; and crunchy carrots with which I finished the Malbec
Successful visit to the recycling center, you two. π₯³π€π€
Nice haul!
Lovely refurbished lantern
Another fruitful trip to the dump!
Love the twinkly lights in the lantern Derrick Jackie made a wonderful job of it.. xx
Yummy dinner!
Love Jackie’s concept for the refurbished lantern π
These look like very useful items to bring home – and the lantern looks like an illustration in a child’s story of myriad fireflies making up a night light π
Great finds! Can’t wait to see them in there new home in the gardens.
Great finds from your recycling centre, Derrick!
Well done Jackie, the refurbished lantern looks quite magical, I’m sure your garden fairies will love it …

Jackie did a beautiful job refurbishing that lantern, Derrick! From a distance, it looks like she has trapped stars in there. It looks lovely!
