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.

Hi daniwalks
have you read any of Alexander McCall Smith books, number one detective agency etc.
I found them to be a brilliant, aspesially life in Botswana Africa.

yes... the kite runner is brilliant and the lovely bones is an excellent book.
I'm currently reading the boy in the stripped pajamas, its an easy read and quite a short book but very powerful.
for an easy and fun read confessions of a shopaholic is very funny!
What sort of books are you interested in?
