At this time of year, the grass is long and horrible, the trees are bare ,
river high, fast and threatening and the planks on the bridge wet and slippery.
How I look forward to spring, primroses , daffies and bluebells
with blossom on the blackthorn, damson and apple trees.

Saucepan handles!

What's the old fool going on about now? You might ask. Well I'll tell you. Have you noticed how most of your saucepan handles are loose and wobbly? Well, they are held on by a screw which works loose and could conceivably work so loose that the handle could come right off when you are carrying that lovely lamb stew across the kitchen! This is what you must do. Go to your ironmonger and purchase a tube of Loctite Fix and seal or some such name. Go home and find a screw driver to fit the head of the saucepan screw. Then , one by one, take the handles right off, clean the screw, apply a drop of thread sealant and screw it back on nice and firmly. Lots of swear words later , you will have a set of saucepans with lovely solid handles that are unlikely to ever work loose again. You will be surprised at how much your life will be improved , you will look forward to boiling that egg or those potatoes!

Method.

With the pics. below, I pointed camera at a bright light, half pressed the shutter to keep exposure,
then pointed at candles and clicked so they were under exposed. (Just in case anyone was interested!!)
