Tip of the day

Don't get in a panic over Christmas. Keep a box and put a little in it every week - small gifts, wine, nibbles, napkins etc. This way, you'll be more relaxed and less skint in December! keriku

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.

The first major book sequence I read , many years ago as a teenager. I can still go back and read and re-read it and enjoy anew the dense imagery, the driving narrative, the sense of loss at world's passing and joy at world's saved, sacrifices made, tender love, stirring battles..... There is so much in the books.
