To clean your cauldron wash it with mild soap and warm water only. Dry it in the oven on a low heat, or turn it upside down over a burner on the hob on a very low flame. It should never be placed in a dishwasher or left to air dry.

Whilst my husband was paying for the cauldron the owner of the shop gave us the sad news that we'd just made it in time to make our purchase, as the shop was to close the following month. As it stands in the old part of Whitby, the rising prices for renting and maintaining property there and the obviously high council tax for the area meant that the owner could no longer afford to renew the lease, at the end of that season. We wished him well and I expressed regret that I'd only recently discovered the shop. Maybe he found the extra money from somewhere - maybe that brilliant little shop, crammed with all kinds of treasures, is still there. Maybe it's now a shop selling something entirely different. Such a shame that I didn't discover it sooner, but at least my cauldron came to me as a result of a chance wander into that excellent little shop. When we next spend a day in Whitby, the first thing I'll do is go and see if that shop is still there. I hope it is.

Blessings, love and light, Bunnycat
