It is also missing its lid, since this fell to the floor and broke during the opening process (not me, honest!)<br /><br />Actually, your creative suggestions for what to do with an small earthenware pot with "Marks & Sparks Blue Stilton" written indelibly on the side of it would be welcome!Mark In Mayennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14987723233401368368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130463693430089737.post-30073321400741355002010-01-24T06:56:29.393-08:002010-01-24T06:56:29.393-08:00Ah no Codgi, You have just been visited by the ...Ah no Codgi, You have just been visited by the 'I'll take a little off the top and nobody will notice fairy'. I get visits regularly, paricularly to chocolate bars, pots of desert and the like.<br /><br />It's actually an honour although I do wonder if perhaps, she might be getting, well, a bit fat. She leaves the lettuce alone.<br /><br />What will you do with your new pot?Molly Potterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16322262170382594290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130463693430089737.post-76099958461372890382010-01-23T15:20:54.159-08:002010-01-23T15:20:54.159-08:00Tell M&S what you think.

But being objective here, your (admittedly entirely justified) complaint only affirms my belief that you live in paradise. (Either that or you need to find some more of that weed you were eating in the mistaken belief that it was 'good in a salad'.)<br /><br />Or perhaps there's something else going on that you really should be ranting about but choose not to. After all, you enjoyed the cheese and are now blessed with a fine pot that is bigger than it might otherwise have been.Jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10412300721454784537noreply@blogger.com
