Two lovely deliveries last week.
My belated birthday present from my parents - a Cambridge satchel. Because I am a brown leather satchel kind of girl. I've never spent more than about £20 on a bag so I'm quite excited by this. It smells beautiful and it's embossed with my surname initials. It probably won't leave my side for the next few years, hopefully it will become battered and homely and well-loved.
Nigel Slater's Tender vol.1. I have wanted this for a long long time, ever since I fell head over heels for The Kitchen Diaries, Toast, and his prose in general. And I like growing things and eating them. So I finally went ahead and ordered it, just as a nice treat. O it's heavenly.
