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.

My best book ever! So evocative, I could smell the flowers in the gardens, and hear the sea at Manderley. I just wanted to be there, and explore those gardens for myself, then walk down to the sea and have a nose around Rebecca's beach house.

Absolutely! Wonderfully written, and refreshing after too much modern day media/texting/slang and over the top attempts to thrill.

Fantastic - it has everything. It's a mystery, thriller, love story and social history all rolled into one. This dark and brooding story grips you from the (very famous) opening line and holds you to the surprising end.
