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.

Fascinating read. It's a true story of a midwife's life in the east end of London in 1950 when people were poverty stricken, no hot water and pest infected houses, the midwife going about her rounds on a bicycle, never accosted. The time when childbearing was a women's thing and the father just looked on as he went to work.
