Oxfam

You can now buy Oxfam charity items online. Great idea!

This lovely pot arrived to me via the Monmouthshire store which there is little chance of me visiting in person. I'm just showing you the lid. The silver markings suggest it was made by Deakin and Francis (nowadays more famous for their cuff links) in 1921 (the date mark took me ages to fathom).

I've visited the Jewellery Quarter in Birmingham a couple of times and I suspect it's not changed too much but I can't recall seeing these silversmiths. An evening of yoga and then lovely food and relaxation. No work late on for a big change.
