Thank you so much to SFT for my very first award - I am really honoured.  

A lazy day today, I have flu and am feeling all sorry for myself.  I have not moved from the sofa by the woodburner all day.  In fact, I didn't get dressed until 2 o'clock - I haven't done this since I had my first baby!

In between napping I have been reading the latest book I got from the village library 'The Ministry of Food - Thrifty Ways to Feed your Family Today' by Jane Fernley-Wittingstall.  It is making me very excited to get down the allotment and start planting.   Although with more heavy snow forecast tonight, it could be a while until I can get down there.

The book is also full of posters from the time, which I just love.

I have this one in my kitchen. 

I want this one!

For now I shall make myself a honey and lemon, head off to bed with my hot water bottle and dream of the spring and new shoots.
