Today I have no good excuses for why I haven’t written you a proper post – I shall be posting my review of The Slaves of Solitude tomorrow evening, let me know if you’re joining in the readalong and have something ready to post.
For today, I just thought I’d share the leaving present I got from my lovely colleagues last week – my 9 month contract with Rare Books in the Bodleian came to an end, as did the job I was hired to do, so I have left them, and shall miss both the lovely, funny people I worked with and the interesting materials I saw. But before I went they gave me the perfect leaving present – they definitely know me well…
I got a bit ahead of myself, or rather of everybody else, in the read-along — looking forward to the other reviews including of course yours!
That looks superb! Never seen anything like it before… You must treat us to a photo of the real thing when you have a chance to bake :-)
I've never seen one of these before, but I'm anxious to see the results. Just the pan alone makes me "snack-y." :)
Nice tin! What are you doing next Simon?
That is one impressive cake tin! I'm also hoping you'll post a photo when you use it…
I've also posted my review of The Slaves of Solitude – it was a great book and I'm so pleased I finally got around to reading it.
