Something around the corner...

....some 'beguiling sunshine' is headed my way,I can catch a glimpse just around the corner!Spring is hastening like the eager bulbs peeping out from their earthy blankets. Something is afoot & I have a little spring in my step,carrying me along lifes path on the 'lightest feet'! Dear reader,I am making preparation for a journey,but just now I shall not reveal my destination,not until I have set out on the road 'brave & smiling'.I forsee a fairly steep climb ahead,but I will not travel alone & soon enough we will round that corner & feel the sun! 

Song of happiness.....

.....a little bit of advice from Aunt Kate on a Monday-hope its been a happy day for you dear readers! I spent the morning with my lovely mama,that always makes me happy. Sadly,I will not be serving up a steaming dish of 'Brown Stew' tonight,though it is certainly dumpling weather here again! Those babies fluffy woolens made from rabbit wool sound divine-chubby little 1930s babies in bonnets & bootees-adorable! 

Be simple.....

.....well,well,well....I am in the workroom,not sat by the fire as I usually am these wintry evenings....I am multi-tasking,having tidied my Blog,Iam tidying my Life......!!!!! Anyway I just picked up this book,as oft I do-Aunt Kates Day-by-Day Book;'A thought,a recipe,a household hint-for every day of the year',so I turned to 27th January which in 1937 was also a Wednesday! When I read the thought for the day it seemed so very appropiate as I have just read a dear friends Blog-post about writing letters as opposed to keeping in touch by more modern means,keeping it simple,Its so easy to get pulled along on the current of the modern world,sometimes we need come up for air.....That aside,Aunt Kate also gives us a recipe for Chocolate Cream Sandwich,then very thoughtfully a hint for removing cocoa stains-for when we drop our choc sandwich on our pretty crepe blouse,whilst shovelling it into our mouth!(click on picture for a read)....more from Aunt Kate coming soon girls!

for BupBup.......
