Blickling

We went for a big walk on the estate at Blickling Hall yesterday and ended up with a visit to the second hand bookshop.

I was so excited to find this gem of a book for the bargain price of £1.80:


 Can't wait to start using it for inspiration and advice. It might be 60 years old, but is full of great tips & straightforward instructions & diagrams - I really love Gladys already!




One of the reason's I like old books is that they often have inscriptions like this one. I only wish I knew the name of the person George gave the book to. I'm hoping it was Florence or Vera like my grandmothers, & I'm imagining what she might have made when she received this lovely book!
