Winter Activities

Pears always remind me of my father, he considered the flavour better than that of papaya and even mango. I think they taste almost tropical, so smooth and subtle. I have a sideboard full.

At a stroke I have improved the new ironing table AND solved the old headboard problem: by dismantling the headboard and carving a new tabletop 5'x3' from the sheet of wood. This small padded table is easy to work at, I have set it up with the iron and cut and press while watching Rachel Maddow, what could be better?
