Sounds promising. If you're feeling thrifty (and short on time), you can buy your 'ingredients' from the one-stop shop, use their heat-up-a-burger microwave, and you should be steamin' by the time you've entered your pin number..

Blimey I oh !


Quick stock take chez Curtain:


Manzanilla (open, but full-ish)


Sainsbo's Amarillo Sherry


1.5lt of Lambrusco Red wine (unopened-gift from the 12-step AA lady down the road)


Various Ciders


In the freezer i've stashed a chunk of belly pork & a load of proper sausages.



I'm well happy now !

Finished the last of the Christmas cake and the sweet sherry a few days back.


None of the chocolates etc lasted much beyond Christmas week :))


Stella went long ago, as did all the leftover white wine,fizzy wine, rum and brandy.


Still got a bottle of dry sherry, ginger wine, several bottles of red and a bottle of gin.


Oh, and about a stone of unwanted flab :))

    • My memory, admittedly not very reliable these days, places the shop on the block on the left hand side just before Burgess Park going towards Camberwell. Have also found a reference to Franklins Antiques being located at 157 Camberwell Road which is on that block. This is a screen shot obtained from Google maps of that address which accords with my memory except the entrance door was on the right hand side, where the grey door is, rather than in the centre.
    • The MFI was probably where Iceland is now. This post makes me feel very old - went to a 30th birthday party in the garden at the back. Oh to be 30 again! 
    • Anyone upgraded their TV for Christmas?! I'm looking for a smallish Smart TV I can use with earbuds. Not more than 56cm high and  25cm deep. A 26" one used to fit.  Thanks!
    • It wasn't an antique and bric-a-bac shop but an antique market with a number of different traders, the cafe supported all the dealers in bringing in custom, and was good enough to generate trade for them. It was Rodney Franklin's and his partners enterprise, he previously had an antique shop in Queenstown Road in Battersea. His late wife ran the cafe (she was a very fine actress, it was a 'resting' job).  It was on the corner of a junction on the left as you head towards Camberwell. And almost opposite, if memory serves at all, an MFI style furniture outlet.
