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.

Dubious at first, because of the size of the book, I can honestly say that this is the best book i have ever read (and I LOVE books!)
It's a book about about the history of London, through the eyes of fictional families living through real events. A weird concept, but it really works and it's unputdownable!
Full of suspense, passion, war, famine, adventure and sadness. It really is a fab book with believable characters and it's easy to digest. It covers the Romans, the Fire of London and the Victorians and it's a great insight into life through the ages!
Give it a go - it's a meaty, but worthwhile read!
