Smaller than a breadbin (as per Cee’s Black & White Challenge this week).? Most definitely.

It’s colour week for Cee’s Midweek Challenge this week and the chosen colour is light or neon green.

Inevitably, this challenge reminded me of some classic Father Ted (for the uninitiated, one of the finest UK sitcoms of the past forty years)
BBQ Time
Posted on April 2, 2021
For her Black & White Challenge this week, Cee is looking for something that would be found on a picnic table or in a park.
This – sitting on our picnic table – is the rather nifty spatula from our set of barbecue tools.
