Tip of the day

Never ask a child IF they need the loo... moodlum

Quote of the week

CaptainNancy's (admirably succinct) family rules: "Don't be a dingbat/duffer. Keep calm and carry on. Dream big. Shut up and get on with it."

Recipe of the week

Carmenere's cinder toffee: sweet, sticky, made-in-five-minutes toffee squares that'll spark off a few 'yums' among the 'oohs' and 'aahs' of your little fireworks-watchers.

Sharp, funny, compassionate and ultimately thought-provoking look at the post-university lives of a group of Vassar graduates in New York in the 1930s. Educational on Roosevelt and the New Deal, Truby King, contraception, retail management, breast-feeding, psychoanalysis and lesbianism amongst many other things. A fantastic holiday read by an author not usually known for her fun value.
