northernsnokatw wondered what our light net looked like when it was lit - I took this on Wednesdayevening so you can see -

This window will look magnificent when it's dark outside! Is tiffin similar to Rocky road, except for the marshmellows? I was just wondering...

[curiouswombat]

It does look lovely when it is dark outside.

Very similar to rocky road - but usually the pieces are smaller so you get almost a fudgy, crumblier effect with less obvious chunks.

I love your light netting. I had a much smaller one than that years ago and was sad when it stopped working and now they're impossible to find.
I hope Cathi sees your photo...she is busy baking and making cards these days herself.

And now I want some fudge...one of my favourite sweet things.

I hope the scents of baking and painting aren't mingling too much!

[curiouswombat]

Yes - I'm not sure if you can still get them these days.

I have made mince-pie fudge - there may be cherry and ginger stull as well by Christmas.

The baking is tending to keep the smell of paint at bay a little downstairs! The bedroom is almost finished - Nigel is coming back to do the last bit of papering on Monday morning when all the woodwork is completely dry.

I love your netting of lights! And you are right, they are easy, peasy, I wish I still had one. The stars at the bottom are a really nice touch :)

When I think of tiffin I think of metal containers for Indian food to go, but now I get it reading the comments :)

Your cakes sound lovely!

[curiouswombat]

I have just looked and it is still possible to get them - worth knowing in case this one gives up the ghost! I was really pleased when I realised those stars would work there.

I have no idea why the chocolate fruit and biscuit confection is called tiffin, to be honest.

I've always rather wanted a set of tiffin tins like those.

Some of my friends have those tiffin containers, I want some too! And I also want a new set of lights like yours, mine broke after about 5 years of use.

The lights are lovely. That looks like a lot of work, but worth it.

Mmmmm, paint and baking!

[curiouswombat]

They come all fastened together into that net - and we put some clear plastic hooks up the first Christmas in this house which stay in place - so it is just a case of finding the four corners (I tie a ribbon on each!) and fastening it up!

I must say I prefer the smell of the baking to the paint.

[wiseheart]

Haha, that last part sounds very familiar. Our infamous balcony is full of tin boxes with biscuits that are waiting for the recipients to fetch them.

The light net is very pretty.

[curiouswombat]

At the moment the smell of the paint is winning out... but by tomorrow hopefully it will have eased and the baking will win out!

The light net does looks very effective - I was really pleased that it worked in this window.
