Carolyn has started posting 1940s recipes again, https://the1940sexperiment.com/2025/08/31/marrow-charlotte-recipe-no-226/
She is going to publish two recipe books.

I found a hand painted, pure linen table cloth on the second hand store online. So many are Rayon. It was £8.37 with postage and will make a lovely bath towel.

Thanks @PipneyJane I do craft - I'm knitting a fairisle cowl and a pair of fairisle mittens to go with the tam I made. OH says I look like Super Gran...I don't care so long as I have a warm head. I do fairisle two handed - I don't like the faff of keep swapping yarn - in the round, and I can't be doing with working out how to purl in fairisle! I do a bit of quilting too, when I have the space. 

Fab quilt @thriftwizard and lovely hat @Laura_Elsewhere and glad your mum is on the mend. 

I've had to buy a pair of pyjamas this week - op coming up and I need something that button's through as I won't be able to lift my arm above my head - so that's 8 coupons already. I also need to buy some darning wool - it comes in 10m lengths on cards - I have no idea how many of those would make up 2oz!

@aethelflaed darning wool is coupon free.  (It’s in the fine print of the picture in the first post.)

Can’t chat right now. I’m on my phone.
