Our local library is very 'corporate' these days. They wear purple polyester uniforms and all the older librarians who looked as if they might have read a book have been made redundant. maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13955194101659665925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-731398893178184544.post-55071998192583540722015-10-18T19:58:11.293+01:002015-10-18T19:58:11.293+01:00Perhaps you should make a point of letting everyon...Perhaps you should make a point of letting everyone know that it should be saved?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-731398893178184544.post-66028052226723954892015-10-18T17:43:31.881+01:002015-10-18T17:43:31.881+01:00I'm only hoping that when I return it, Sue,the...I'm only hoping that when I return it, Sue,they won't think, oh, that looks so old and battered and chuck it out! maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13955194101659665925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-731398893178184544.post-4469063959541875542015-10-18T17:34:58.507+01:002015-10-18T17:34:58.507+01:00I made a cheese sandwich instead, Darlene!

If I make Welsh cakes, I'll be nibbling all week. <br />Have you ever come across Julie Duff's book, Traditional and Regional Cakes (or it might be the other way round)? All your cake/bun fantasies come true and the recipes are very reliable. It's an old one; I'm sure you'd find it for 1p on Amazon.maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13955194101659665925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-731398893178184544.post-41942404098701145072015-10-18T17:11:25.411+01:002015-10-18T17:11:25.411+01:00Too right, Mary!

Oh those books of their time...Roman is reading Murder Underground and can't believe a young lady would pass on her inheritance to a feckless relative because she's about to be married and won't need the money.<br /> <br />I vote 'yes' for Welsh cakes! I've been craving a tea cake since Oxford and you don't find them around here so I'll have to root through a cookbook.Cosy Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17818379449207007470noreply@blogger.com
