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. 🥳🤭🤓

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 🙂

Oh, Jackie! That lantern is so beautiful and superb! Fabulous job of giving it new life, a new look, and bright lights! 🙂 It reminds me of Vincent van Gogh’s paintings of stars in the night sky! 🙂
You two always find treasures and give them renewed life.
