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.

Depicts a whole way of life that is now gone. Very atmospheric, with memorable characters. I first read this when I was about 20 and have re-read it every five years or so - I get something new from it everytime. It is intriguing that a male author can give life to such a believable, female, main protaginist.
