The other day I went through the pantry because there are so many things in there that haven’t been touched in a long time. Almost all of these involved some kinds of beverages brought by visitors who like to drink them. There were many varieties of tea, instant coffees and cocoas of the “just add water” type, plus some dried fruits, candies, specialty crackers, pudding, etc. I looked at the “best by” dates on everything. Some of that stuff must have come with us from The Compound, because “best by” predated our move to Houndstooth Hall at the beginning of January 2015. All of it ended up being tossed except for one batch of instant cocoa that had been put in a Swiss Miss tin. The tin’s original contents had expired, but the replacement cocoa was still fine.
Among the teas was a collection in this tiny tin:
After I emptied and tossed the contents, I was pleased to add the tin to my Beatles/London shelf in the writing sanctuary.
OMG. I can’t believe that you have been living at Houndstooth Hall for seven years already!
Fun tin. I will have to find you something for your shelf when I am next in the capital.
It’s crazy that it’s been that long, but crazier to think that we were flooded in 2017, so five years in August.
Anything you find you know I’ll love. =)
