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.

Brilliant! Quirky humour.

It's a charming story of people in a time warp in a small French village, but the brilliance is in the way it is written.

Places are never referred to just as 'the fountain' but 'the fountain-said-to-cure-gout', à la mode de 'Allo 'Allo (not sure about my French grammar there).

I grinned a lot whilst reading it!
