Refurbished Lantern

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

  1. 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 πŸ™‚

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