Vlog 11 - Stormy Allotment Drama | Baking Curd Tarts & Vintage Buttons

This week the storms rolled in — in more ways than one.
After weeks of drought, the rain finally arrived, but along with it came a dramatic turn on the allotment. My friend’s newly adopted plot (abandoned for two years) was coming back to life beautifully… until someone stole a blackcurrant bush she had been nurturing. A little detective work revealed the culprit, leaving us all with a sour taste.

Meanwhile in the kitchen, I attempt traditional Yorkshire curd tarts (with a few soggy-bottomed results!) you won't be seeing me on The Great British Bake Off anytime soon LOL - and on the allotment we raid the bonfire pile to rescue some old drawers — soon to be transformed into next year’s flower beds. 

To finish, I bring order to my ever-growing stock collection of vintage buttons, sorting them into colourful little families.

It’s a week of storms, salvages, and small joys.

✨ Thanks for watching and following along with my vintage-tinged adventures!
