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.

"Reading Robertson Davies is like sitting in a plush, wood-panelled library--in a large leather chair with a glass of excellent brandy and a crackling fire--and being captivated with a fabulous tale spun by a wonderful raconteur." This is a quote from Amazon customer reviews, and I've used it as I cannot do better myself. The prose is beautiful, the style amusing, erudite and thoughtful. Another review said it was therapy bound in leather. It is.
