These projects always appeal to me in theory but when it comes down to actually doing them, I always shy away LOL! You seem to have done a marvellous job and how lovely it is to save your mum's handwritten recipes! I have a few of those on scraps of paper from my late mother-in-law and I always think of her with fondness when I see them - they represent very precious memories. My husband is a great fan of Bill Bryson's - I've only read his 'Notes from a small island' which I found hilarious. Thanks for your visit earlier - wishing you a lovely weekend! xxZsuzsa Karoly-Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14427330015740268592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2058050648836508020.post-47663627978101599402018-03-08T20:35:52.109+00:002018-03-08T20:35:52.109+00:00The freezing temps have had us all trying to make ...The freezing temps have had us all trying to make the most and avoid cabin feve! I love that you’ve sorted and catalogued the recipes, your grandson will love that. A great gift. Must say that your scrapbook organisation is sublime...I pick a photo, then a page, then go through every box of tags, gems, embellishments etc until I find something I like to go with it all. Its a labour of love, whichever way! sure hope the hospitals are ple@ed with you both. The Bryson is the one of his collections that I had trouble getting through. I can’t actually remember why now, but ‘moaning’ comes to my mind.

Lovely idea for the recipe book to pass to your grandson. I have my late mothers Mrs Beeton's Everyday Cookbook! She was awarded it in 1956 for top marks in one of her nursing exams. She had handwritten some recipes in the back. The book advises on servants duties, table decoration, etc ... but the recipes and photos are ancient, and measurements such as quarts, gills. Mind you when my mother was awarded the new updated version it had been in print for over 75 years, so that takes it back to 1870s I think! Thanks for stopping by and your kind comments. Enjoy yourself at the SECC show, and have a lovely week Heather x #32Heather Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01597453713838254105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2058050648836508020.post-43040547959988762782018-03-07T20:43:46.359+00:002018-03-07T20:43:46.359+00:00Hope all is going well with hospital appointments ...Hope all is going well with hospital appointments for both of you.<br />What a mammoth job you have been doing - and still are - good luck with them all.

Now it's all sorted, photos are at the ready.... lots of great ideas for pages can come springing to mind. A lovely idea with the recipe journal. When we sorted my parent's house we came across mum's old recipe book - and discovered not only her writing, but her mum's and her grandmother's. So I have food ideas going back 4 generations now. As you say - some quite interesting!! Oyster soup was one. Can you imagine being able to afford that now???<br />Take care.
