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.

A romp through the wild adventurous life of Orlando, a nobleman, who mysteriously never ages, and even changes sex part of the way though the book. It's the sort of book you can read again and again and always find something new. Loved the scene of the party on the frozen Thames with the Russian princess. The book is made even more special by the fact that it is a tribute to Virginia Woolf's great friend and lover Vita Sackville-West. If only someone would write me a love letter this beautiful!
