There’s not much to do really but I have inherited Maggie’s way of working when it comes to ‘ousework; and she had to have everything ‘just right’. I might not achieve her standards, because I tend to find various
I’m going to do the clocks before I make the chocolate; I have been known to work on
‘Ivy Cottage’ time for a few days at clock changing time. Time doesn’t mean much to me now; it’s either day or night. Our stone age ancestors would work in the daylight and
