Tuesday, 20th January 2026 - Custard Tart

I went into Tenterden. It was a sad day. Bayliss & Co have been selling my paintings for the past few years. Today I collected them. They are closing. I came home to find our electricity restored and Tim had done an excellent job mending my bumper. The day got better.

My sweetpea test of using the netting from oranges to deter mice failed. I went to check this morning. They had carefully widened the gaps in the netting. I was pleased to see the seeds still there. Ah..... but no. I was fooled. It was just the skins. The seeds were gone. I bought yet more seeds from Webbs and have planted them. This time I am trying cling film. I will be checking tomorrow and let you know how my next trial goes.

Day 20 #stradaeasel

I found some reduced custard tarts in Tescos. We had them after soup this evening. They were soft and wibbly - perfect. We had four. Ate two. One became my subject for a tiny oil painting.
