An Old-Fashioned Tablespoon
I have one old-fashioned tablespoon, that is the right size for cooking.

What this blog will eventually be about I do not know.
But it will be about how I’m coping with the loss of my wife and son to cancer in recent years and how I manage with being a coeliac and recovering from a stroke. It will be about travel, sport, engineering, food, art, computers, large projects and London, that are some of the passions that fill my life.
And hopefully, it will get rid of the lonely times, from which I still suffer.
Why Anonymous? That’s how you feel at times.

They are hard to get hold of nowadays, and I am used to using them as measures instead of getting out scales and jugs etc. I have several still.
Places like Lakeland have plastic sets but they arent the same as a good proper tablespoon

That’s my view too!

There are “proper” ironmongers around who sell things like that, and still sell screws individually from little cardboard boxes. The other place to try is a local charity shop or house clearance shop, they often get cutlery given I think. The ones we have came from my mother in laws when we were clearing her house. We also got all her teaspoons because at that stage both girls lived at home and ate yoghurts and drank cup a soups etc whilst wandering around the house and we had to go on a big teaspoon hunt every few days because they always forgot to bring them back down, despite reminders and threats. Actually older daughter had been “tidying her room” since she was about 8, and it was finally actually tidy a couple of hours after she moved out and took the furniture with her, aged 24! Now she has a 3 bedroom house to tidy!

I think the one I have also came from mother-in-law.

That is because they probably dont really exist any more. Sets of cutlery seem to have just 4 or 6 each of knives, forks, dessert spoons and teaspoons. We have a proper fancy canteen of cutlery in a fancy box with all sorts of strange things in it, a wedding present from my parents who insisted that was what we were having as it was a “family tradition”. That may have them in, under the guise of serving spoons. Not sure where it is though, probably on top of a wardrobe – we dont have fitted ones because we have antique furniture which is much nicer. We have a big square kitchen which is shades of green with green check accessories – blinds, cutlery, crockery etc. Fancy cutlery wouldnt go at all!
