Last night’s sunset was lovely and peachy and reflected in my car window.

Our lovely neighbour came in for supper tonight and after Caponata with Chicken, I served up Eton mess in a beautiful pale blue glass bowl that was my Granny’s. It was a Wedding present for her and Grandpa in June 1913! Isn’t it amazing that this glass bowl is still in use 105 years later? I just love that she used it, my Mum always served the Christmas Sherry Trifle in this bowl and now I, too, can use it and I love it.

Eton mess is a traditional English dessert consisting of a mixture of strawberries, broken meringue, and whipped double cream. First mentioned in print in 1893, it is commonly believed to originate from EtonCollege and is served at the annual cricket match against the pupils of Harrow School. As the lovely Mr S says, the boys from Eton are still making a mess.
