Me thinks they know you all too well m.m. Bradders, she was revolutionary in her day (Victorian era) and she very sadly died at the age of 28. I always thought she was a more "elderly" lady and was quite shocked when her life story was on the telly a few weeks ago and I realised just how young she was. Her cookery book is still right up there today after over 100 years and is full of fascinating household tips and stuff that still holds true today. One of the best cookery/household books ever written in my humble opinion Back to top milkmaid Joined: 19 Apr 2005 Posts: 7424 Location: isle of lewis Posted: Sun Dec 23, 2007 11:57 am    Post subject: totally agree ,one of the very favorites in my kitchen ,and a fasinating woman in her own right Back to top Bradders Joined: 13 Aug 2007 Posts: 1011 Location: Cambridgeshire Posted: Sun Dec 23, 2007 5:47 pm    Post subject: Oh thanks ladies Back to top bronskibeat Joined: 09 Sep 2007 Posts: 1768 Location: Clawddnewydd Posted: Sun Dec 23, 2007 7:26 pm    Post subject: our pleasure kind sir Back to top Bradders Joined: 13 Aug 2007 Posts: 1011 Location: Cambridgeshire Posted: Mon Dec 24, 2007 9:42 am    Post subject: Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         The Poultry Keeper Forum Index -> Smallholder animals All times are GMT + 1 Hour Page 1 of 1 Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2005 phpBB Group
