Oh, how I would have loved to join you in your trip to Lincoln :) I simply loved seeing the cobblestone streets and pretty buildings.<br /><br />Your tasty treats look quite delicious!

I've been following you a little while and love your home and mindset : ) My eldest daughter and I were in Lincoln a few weeks back, but didn't know about the Museum of Lincolnshire Life - we went to the normal Museum instead (very good). <br /><br />Some nice inspiration in those old Women's Weekly magazines, and love your tea cosy.<br /><br />My favourite fruit cakes are a Cardiganshire Boiled Fruit Cake and a Mincemeat cake, both of which are nice and moist. The boiled fruit cake is my last minute standby in lieu of a Christmas Cake, whilst the Mincemeat cake uses up my home-made Mincemeat. <br /><br />You've just reminded me I need to make a loaf today.Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129839050019755020.post-22413496826794391992015-02-16T15:02:17.041-08:002015-02-16T15:02:17.041-08:00Hi Michelle, So lovely to read your new post.

So much history. <br />I have some old knitting patterns as well probably from the 30's and 40's. So much fun to go through them although I haven't made anything from them yet.<br />We are digging our from another blizzard--so much snow and it is so cold here in Atlantic Canada. <br />Did you ever see the movie Love at the Christmas Parade? It is a cute movie and the young girl wears all vintage clothing. Your love of vintage made me think you might like it.<br />Your girls look so sweet outside the tea room.<br />Take care<br />Hugs<br />maryAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17155117850519963056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129839050019755020.post-40395079569041094682015-02-16T03:27:41.101-08:002015-02-16T03:27:41.101-08:00Lovely to hear from you.

How long did it take you to complete it?<br />I collect vintage magazines, so I enjoyed seeing yours. I think it is so fun to read how life was "back then." And often, certain patterns and recipes from the past are only found in the old magazines. Reading them is often better than learning out of a history textbook. :-)<br />It sounds like you had a fun outing with your family. Your little girls look so cute with their red coats on and standing outside the tearoom. And how fun to see the museum. I especially like the old shop room with the shelves. Is that your daughter at the tea table? Very pretty. And I am guessing that is the pearl necklace she bought? Also very pretty.<br />Thanks for the post, Michelle. It is always a joy to read about your days, and see your lovely photos. :-) God bless!Jennifer Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08552811423957687020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129839050019755020.post-87432820619441107922015-02-13T12:20:26.900-08:002015-02-13T12:20:26.900-08:00Dear Michelle, a new precious entry.

I have seen in YouTube the series of Kitchen and garden in times of war and though I do not understand well the English have enjoyed very much seeing her, I am the great one fond of the ancient customs and always I am ready to learn more. I expect to do tomorrow the sponge cake with his recipe, expect that this so well as his. An embrace for the whole family.
