The Auction Fridge in situ


The fridge I bought at auction is in place and it JUST fits under the shelf, couldn't have measured it better.
Here are a couple of pictures to demonstrate. Trouble is I will have to decorate the kitchen now. I have decided to do an area at a time as at this time of year there is too much going on in my kitchen. What you can't see in the photo is several buckets of damsons and apples, trays of beans, baskets of shallots, bowls of tomatoes and boxes of jars of jam and empty honey jars. These will be doing a dance round the kitchen as I throw some paint around. - and looking at the state of those glass doors to the cupboard above the fridge, a little white vinegar wouldn't go amiss!


 It has rained most of today, which hasn't been too good for picking, but the forecast is better for tomorrow, so J. will be swinging from the trees with her little bucket and filling the punnets for Saturday. I am a little nervous about doing a stall on the market place. it is not something I usually do and am concerned that no one will want my stuff.
 Just heard from J. that there is some sort of hold up on the A38 near Burton. I hope it doesn't prolong what is a pretty long journey anyway. I will put some veggies on to roast with some Lidl chicken legs now and later boil some Pink Fir Apple potatoes and some beans. That should set her up when she gets here.
 Back later

  2. Lovely big fridge and a perfect fit!! Decorating can wait, food stuffs are much more important. I bet your produce will fly off the stall, pity I don't live nearer or I would be there.

    Its been cold and wet here today and hubby put the heating on for an hour to take the chill of the house. Hope tomorrow is better and warmer. Xx

    1. You are right re. the decorating. I shall certainly do nothing to I this weekend.
      we've lit a fire here too. No point in being uncomfortable, we're not THAT skint!

    1. Brill isn't it? J. keeps stroking it as she feels attached to it as she spotted it at the auction!

  4. I am being given a load of damsons tomorrow to make jam with, so I may pop down to your stall to purchase a jar made a by a 'pro' so I have something to compare my beginners efforts with! It will be a nice change, as currently I am sick to death of courgette fritters, courgette soup, courgette bolognaise etc etc etc!

    1. I'm hardly a pro! But if you get chance pop down for a chat I'm the one with a stall full of damsons beans and rhubarb!
      My courgettes are finished.

  5. Pink Fur Apple are my very favorite; could eat them everyday. Wish I was near enough to buy from your stall !
