Jam Tomorrow and Jam Yesterday, but Never Jam Today
“Jam Tomorrow and Jam Yesterday, but Never Jam Today” – from ‘Alice’s Adventures Through the Looking Glass’ by Lewis Carroll.
Luckily, we do not live in Looking Glass Land and are not subject to such nonsense as faced Alice in Lewis Carroll’s second Alice book. That is fortunate indeed for on a warm summer’s day, such as the one I took this photo on, it is a perfect day for tea and scones with fresh jam.
The theme for "Looking Close on Friday" on the 3rd of February is "jam", which is wonderful theme for me, as I love jam, and have quite a selection of different flavours in my pantry, many of them home made (although not by me) like this rich strawberry jam. I decided that since we are going to take Devonshire tea on the terrace, the jam should be presented properly. So I have put it into a beautiful turn of the Twentieth Century German Jugendstil (Art Nouveau) silver preserve pot, which still has its original pink glass insert. I have inserted one of my English silver jam splays into the jam, so you can more easily spread the jam when the scones arrive. I hope you like my choice of image for the theme, and that it makes you smile!
