SHE was out and about with old wicker last week end on Saturday when HER mother decided to enter into this festive game.. there had been a hugely friendly competitiveness between HER parents as to who could find the best treasure at the best and lowest prices.
Therefore, SHE really was not surprised to 'feel' an arm snake through HERS and to smell that strange and extraordinarily wonderful perfume from Jean Patou in HER nostrils.. SHE has never known anyone except HER mama wear Moment Supreme.
But SHE had food and stuff to buy.. so off down the street SHE went to get limes and two bowls of persimmons from Karen. Humous, taramasalata, barberries, freekeh and dried white mulberries came from Ahmed.
Duck breast and bacon from Dickinson, lastly two small Freeform cake tins from Select & Save, a brilliant emporium that sells everything for the home at very good prices.
With everything safely packed into old wicker, SHE said "Ok mama, I am all yours.. where are WE off to?"
Up the road towards Fulham Broadway.. nudged across to the other side of the street.. SHE always walks on the other side of the street so has never really noticed the Cancer Research Shop.
Nudge.. nudge.. through the door.. to the back and the book section.. now YOU all know SHE is a foodie.. Constance was the one who taught HER to cook and to read.. and what was there.. well, YOU do actually know because SHE gave YOU the names of these two marvellous cookery books in an earlier post.
But what was this? Some more 'nudge nudge' today when SHE was on HER way to work this morning! And two more wonderful cookery books in another Charity shop.
The Best of Masterchef - Since 1990 and The French Kitchen, that's what was there.. a collection of over 200 award winning recipes from one of HER favourite television shows and the other with 200 recipes from the Master of French Cooking.. aka HER culinary hero.. Michel Roux Jr.. who taught HER the secret of wringing water from potatoes!
And so it was really quite strange when SHE realised that SHE was 'alone' this afternoon.. bless them both, it is a good thing that they don't expect HER to spend 'serious money' whilst they lead HER all over London with them on their jaunts.
Shopping with HER parents.. is never dull.
