Having made myself accountable to you all, I am delighted to report that both my green jumper and my latest premature baby blanket have been finished and the blanket has been delivered to the collection point for the hospital.
I gave a bunch of tulips to a friend this week and asked her if she knew how to ensure that they lasted. She didn’t. Now I am somewhat undomesticated, but funnily enough I do know how to look after tulips. You must put them in very little water, otherwise they drink it all and then their heads become floppy, but if they only have a little, they are unable to do that. That’s tip no 1 for you.
My second tip is when making a cottage pie, use tinned carrots not fresh ones. They taste just as good and save all the messing about and ending up with hard bits in your pie. I made a pie yesterday and it was delicious.
So there you have it – domesticity with Antonia!
Until next week.
With love
Antonia xx
