Tip of the day

Don't get in a panic over Christmas. Keep a box and put a little in it every week - small gifts, wine, nibbles, napkins etc. This way, you'll be more relaxed and less skint in December! keriku

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.

Lovely middle weight summer read. If you are looking for something other than the usual trashy "chick-lit" for summer but nothing too heavy, this is a good choice. Full of "gentle" depth and characters, lovely interesting and interweaving plots with very believable scenarios, this is a great read. Set in the 1920s, it follows the story of 3 women going to India. All going for different reasons and expectations, none prepared for what is ahead.
