oh eck siren.........I have to plead ignorant and ask what it is samphire ???


Oh, have to mention this.......something I got from a craft fair (sorry no piccys) - it was soap inside a flannel and the flannel was somehow folded to look like a handbag -all decorated with stick on bits for a button and some braid for a strap. Looked really good.Anyone seen any about or any instructions on how to do it ? The one I bought is all wrapped in cellophane and I've kept it as a pressie for grandaughter.............if I unwrap it I'll never get it back together again...............lol

Unwrap it and as you unwrap take photos of each step of the way ... then when you put pics on the pc work backwards and you have step by step instructions ... thats what i did yesterday for the 2 flannel cupcake

It's a sort of plant grows wild on the Norfolk coast. Wouldn't know what it looks like though, but I believe it's a delicacy thereabouts.
