In most part charity shops, and Liberty's have helped fill the gap. There was one thing missing though. The $10 shops better known as <a href="http://www.jusco.com.my/">Jusqo</a>. Well the search is over. I had heard of <a href="http://www.tigerstores.co.uk/">Tiger</a> a group of shops which I desperately wanted a chance to rummage in. However the closest one was up in North Finchley and I just never got there. Lucky me when one opened up on the Finchley road last Saturday.<br />
<br />
Truly I am blessed.<br />

What can you say? Milk frother shaped like a gun? Brown labels? Coloured string?Hello, you are speaking my language. I left the shop having spent £8. What on? well I couldn't leave without the 4 small galvanised buckets or without the car plaster ( you stick it over those small scraps or in my case large ones I may need more than one plaster!) waxed stripey straws and the piece de resistance fake dog poo for number 1 son. Genius!<br />
p.s. still not brave enough to use my car plaster.<br />
<br />
p.p.s. This is for you Sheila !<br />

I guess I will start with the play and our long dog walks in lovely woods and fields . </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So after a very rocky start to spring it finally sprung, and we have bluebells and dappled sunlight and hawthorn blossoms a la David Hockney. All very lovely and necessary as we are plunged back into Winter again.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I haven't just been sitting on my proverbial arse. I have been cooking Pigeon Pie to start with and then a commission to make a forest cake. This is not the finished article which is now long gone, eaten up and devoured like all good cakes should be. The finished cake had mushrooms and fungi snails and spiders and a lot more leaves.</div>

<br />
It's a very long Easter Holiday. My boys are off til the 23rd of April so nearly a month. This provides some difficulties and also allows a certain freedom in deciding what to do. So while we decided what to do off we went to Hastings.<br />
<br />
Now being by the sea when its sleeting snowing and generally grey is no better than London but it is different so I count it as a Holiday. In that spirit we ate fish and chips lay around in our PJ's and didn't go on the Internet. That was not due to any realisation that I am addicted more to do with the fact that I couldn't make the damn thing work(no IT wizz husband). I now realise that I am addicted to the Internet. I did more in one day without the web than I have done for yonks. I framed pictures potted plants rearranged and decluttered. Not sure what I will do with this new information.<br />
<br />
Anyhow off we went to the J<a href="http://www.jerwoodgallery.org/">erwood</a> and a small exhibition but lovely non the less. The boys followed a trail and I looked longingly at the Roger Hilton, Alfred Wallace and Edward Bawden. I nearly bought a Roger Hilton at college, boy do I wish I had now.<br />

The Knock Knock exhibition is made up of seven artists with some affinity to Hastings. It's a mixed bag but I often prefer these pick and mix galleries.<br />
<br />

Hastings is always fun, but now we are back in London and we have decided what to do we are off to Istanbul in a few days to adventures new. Without the Internet perhaps? <br />

<br />
So it's cold and wet and a bit miserable frankly. Not much to tempt a body outside. I have to say that I haven't been greatly enthused with the big exhibitions on offer. I have no real love for Manet, though I did go to his show( more on that later), but<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Bellows"> George Bellows</a> caught my eye. The poster for his show is a raw and mesmerising picture of two boxers hard at it. <br />

<a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/jonathanjonesblog/2011/mar/15/george-bellows-exhibition-american-history">It's a wonderful exhibition</a>, George Bellows was an American Realist painter from the first quarter of the 20th century. He was born in New York to two relatively old parents. He died young not reaching the age his mother was when she gave birth to him. <br />
<br />
This is my favourite piece.<br />

Sadly this picture does not do justice to the colours of the sky which are a shocking azure smudged with gold and reddy browns. Love this picture. That huge monolith in the background is so ominous.<br />
<br />
That sky is one I may just use. In fact I enjoyed nearly all his colour palate. Very inspirational. I did prefer his earlier works to his later. His rendition of people reminded me a lot of Lucian Freud.<br />

Apparently it's spring though I'm not convinced as it seemed to be snowing as I slogged over Primrose Hill this morning. Still the lovely people at Country Living are having a <a href="http://www.countrylivingfair.com/spring/">spring fair</a> which I had a look at yesterday.<br />

These lovely pictures are not mine and I must credit the <a href="http://blog.lauraashley.com/at-home/country-living-spring-fair-2013/">Laura Ashley Blog </a>from whence they came. Mental note take your own pictures.<br />
<br />
Now the fair was very much what you would expect. Lots of pretty Easter baskets, lots of tea towels and lashings of artfully aged household and garden accessories from yesteryear. I'm sorry I don't mean to sound snidey and I love a pot holder as much as the next person but really it was all a bit too lovely for me.<br />
<br />
Having said that and with my darling Husband ensconced in The Business Design Centre I may well set up a stall next Easter if not before!<br />
<br />
I have a few more exhibitions to show and tell. But I shall stretch those out so as to make it look like I have a very culturally full existence.<br />

I am so very proud of him. He is a lovely boy. So excited by the world and so interested in people. He has just got into the school we wanted and he has shown so much determination to learn French in one year and to take on a whole new school system without complaint. Congratulations sweety , and apple sauce to you.<br />

Happy Valentines day! Now I don't know why but perusing the internet there seems to be a whole heap of water related videos. So here are three.<br />

<a href="http://water.org/">Water.org</a> is attempting to raise the profile of water sanitation with the future aim that everyone should have access to clean water. I remember raising money for <a href="http://www.wateraid.org/uk/about_us/oasis/springsummer_03/136.asp">Blue Peter </a>( and they still are) when I was 9 for just such a cause and it's depressing that we are still so far from that goal. Mat Damon is not just the front funnyman he is also a founding member.

I don't know about you but at this time of year so soon after the mammoth feasts of Hanukkah, Christmas and New Year not to talk of Boxing Day or the Epiphany I am heartily sick of cooking. It is at this point to rouse myself from drudgery that I start restlessly looking for a challenge, a touch of daring do. That's right I start cooking weird food. You know that recipe that lurks in the back of your mind that sounds gross but now it sounds sort of exciting. People meet The Tomato Soup Cake. This little beauty is from my very own A Campbell Cookbook or Cooking with Soup. I found this in a Bookstore in a very small town in the backwaters of upstate New York. Totally wanted to try this.<br />

Tomato Soup Gingerbread Cake<br />
<br />
The recipe as it is calls for a gingerbread mix, which sounds interesting but I don't have. It also calls for two packets which sounds excessive and for the purposes of this experiment I have cut all the ingredients measures in half. For two reasons. Firstly what if it tastes gross, and secondly my loaf tin is only a half size and so I always make half cakes. I also haven't added the raisins or the walnuts as my kids would definitely not eat this cake if it had those in. Not using two cans of soup and I cut it down to two eggs.So first the actual recipe. I would comment that old fashioned gingerbread cake probably didn't have tomato soup in it but what the hey.<br />

<br />
So not having the said gingerbread mix I adapted a Nigellla recipe( of course who else ?)<br />
<br />
Gingerbread mix<br />
<br />
75g unsalted butter<br />
65g dark muscovado sugar<br />
50g golden syrup<br />
50g of the syrup you get in the stem ginger in syrup<br />
1 lump of stem ginger finely chopped<br />
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon<br />
1 teaspoon ground ginger<br />
1/2 teaspoon allspice<br />
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda dissolved in warm water<br />
2 eggs<br />
1 teaspoon of marmalade as it was the end of a jar that needed using. I don't believe that this is vital .<br />
<br />
Nigella calls for the butter sugar, syrup, ginger, marmalade and spices to be melted on a low heat. I then added a 1/2 tin of Campbell's tomato soup.At this point hold your gag reflexes. I have to say I did not fancy
tasting this. But in the name of science I did. It tastes OK. A good
sign for the future<br />
<br />

<br />
To this I added 170 g of plain flour and the two eggs. Use you mixer to give it a good thrashing and pour into a loaf tin. And wait optimistically perhaps for the result and a chance to say to your kids guess what this is?<br />

<br />
I actually made Pig's Cheeks Tacos yesterday so my kids are very blase` at this time of year.<br />
<br />
" Tomato Soup cake! Really, but we ate Pigs Cheek Tacos yesterday big deal" ( Not a real conversation but it could have been!)<br />
<br />
<br />
I cooked the cake in a hot preheated oven at 180 C for about 45 minutes. Nigella says it's best a bit soggy as it will carry on cooking. While it's cooking there is this weird tomato soup /cake smell. Not sure if that is nasty or nice.<br />
<br />
And here it is! Straight out of the oven. Its a lovely texture and good to cut it has a warm ginger taste and isn't too sweet. Great result actually!<br />

The<a href="http://www.londonartfair.co.uk/page.cfm/link=1"> London Art Fair</a> is very conveniently situated in The Business Design Centre which is where Hubby works and also where I exhibited work when it first opened straight out of college. It's on this year from the 16th til the 20th and I don't have to pay as I have a pass!<br />
<br />
Its always good to have a walk around these Fairs and even better not to have to pay to get in. Lots of the good and the great and lots of weird and wonderful. There is even an <a href="http://emmahillart.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/the-london-art-fair-2013-oddities.html">ostrich in a box.</a> In fact with the popularity of taxidermy and particularly <a href="http://pollymorgan.co.uk/">Polly Morgan</a> there was lots of wee small creatures. Sorry I didn't take any pictures myself so there is a link on the ostrich to a blogger who did!Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07526755571916491574noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7479720105485966998.post-4238827931401917202013-01-18T02:40:00.000+08:002013-01-18T02:40:52.796+08:00Story TellerI love Somerset House.

So today I continued my catch up of exhibitions that I really should have gone to before. <a href="http://www.somersethouse.org.uk/visual-arts/tim-walker-story-teller">Tim Walker: Story Teller.</a> Firstly can I just say what a great exhibition. It's only on til the 27th of January but if I have time on Saturday I may go back with the children. Secondly what a great FREE exhibition.<br />

This painting by William Holman Hunt- Our English Coasts is also in the exhibition and is of Fairlight in Hastings. The Pre Raphaelites have a strong connection to Hastings with Rossetti having lived there for a very brief time.<br />

I had started all the cooking and preserving but not the makes.And now I have. But have I left it too late? I have made my limited edition Christmas cards. Lino cuts this year.<br />

However Not sure I will have time to make all the boxes and bits and pieces and the swags of ivy I wanted to try.<br />
Still here is a few I made earlier. I took my first trip down <a href="http://www.marylebonevillage.com/en/marylebone-village/index.cfm">Marylebourne High Street</a> the other day. It was so lovely and Christmassy with all the lights. I was particularly inspired by<a href="http://www.conranshop.co.uk/"> The Conran shop</a> and I saw a few things that I thought I could make myself.<br />

I thought the little glass decorations in jam jars inspired and aided by my trip to HK and a quick run down to Wanchai market here are my version. Next little Japanese wooden boxes for string. I had some saved cheese boxes for just such a creative project and with the last of my Sham Shui Po string made two. The green glass food storage jars were on sale and I have one for my cotton wool balls and have made one into a vanilla candle.Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07526755571916491574noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7479720105485966998.post-38909120777081930142012-11-28T17:58:00.002+08:002012-11-28T17:58:20.004+08:00I Heart Hong KongSo more jet setting with a long weekend away in HK for a wedding.

So lets see if I can update you a
bit. I went to a great talk at the RA by Michael Wood on The Bronzes of
the Tamil people in South India. Very good and the talk wasn't bad
either! As my companion noted " He is seducing us with his voice". Well
yes, he was!<br />

And so to my small efforts. Scary eyeball meatball the creation don't cha know of smallest child,<a href="http://www.katydidandkid.com/2010/09/nevermore-halloween-wreath-tutorial.html"> a spooky wreath </a>inspired by this bargain DIY instruction and of course the ubiquitous pumpkin though not as beautifully carved as the ones in Chelsea Market.<br />
<br />
We have planned the annual walk around the neighbourhood trick or treating and who knows how that will go this year.<br />
<br />
