Chiltern Vintage

2 huge cabbages -> sauerkraut!

My mum left red and white cabbages in the fridge so I thinly sliced them, added chilli flakes, cumin seeds, peppercorns and salt and massaged them for what felt like a very long time until they released enough liquid. Packed it into a properly old crock, made sure liquid covered it, placed a cabbage on top and wait for the pro/pre biotic magic to happen!

Two antique prints of Windsor Castle with the River Thames in the foreground. Hoping that an antique shop in Windsor or Eton might like to buy them! 🤞

This Mexican blanket is one of three from my mum’s attic: 2 Navajo and one from Mexico 😍 These, and about 10 patchwork quilts, were all collected by my mum when we lived in the USA as a family over 40 years ago.
