Apologies for the rant yesterday but I feel better having got it off my chest - and many thanks to those who left helpful comments about food waste collections, very kind.
I would probably have been writing a longer post this afternoon but I've been incredibly lazy and have spent the past hour and a half watching an episode of Wallander on the BBC iPlayer. It was excellent, as always, but I now feel incredibly guilty for wasting the latter part of my afternoon on TV or, in this case, computer watching. It's not like I haven't got anything better to do but I find it very hard to get motivated once the light starts to go at about 4.00 pm. Well, that's my excuse!!
Here a few bits I found in the charity shop this morning. A rather nice piece of rose-print fabric. It's not old - the label says 'Made in China' (where else these days!) but it is pure cotton and is lovely and thick so should be useful for something. The yellow and blue bias binding are probably from the 1960s but the taupe colour one is much older - I only really bought it for the lovely card it's on. The whole lot cost £1.00 so I was very pleased.
Great finds, I love the card that the taupe bias is on, it's very pretty.

What lovely fabric and old items. I love to find this kind of thing. It's getting rarer all the time though...Pam
