IT'S OUT TODAY! The story of finding Mum's diaries from 1951/52. They paint a vibrant portrait of the age and the people. Do you know anyone who lived in Kent, or is of an age to enjoy a trip down Memory Lane?

Today is the last day that According to Eve is free in the UK, so please do take advantage, even if it's only to look at the glorious pics! (although the love story between the lines will break your heart too)

I’m sure my stepmother used the phrase ‘picky bits’ or ‘picky tea’ way back in the 1970s. Anyone else remember this? Google isn’t helping much. #WritingCommunity

Was quietly impressed when 'Zon quickly delivered the author copies of According to Eve I ordered a month ago.
Anyways, I just got an email saying they're refunding me because they couldn't be delivered. Now I is confusled. Did I dream them?

Sheesh. OH is watching the World Cup thing. I can cope with the odd bit of sportsing but I wasn’t warned about the Orange Menace. My coping mechanism is to drink too much wine.

If you need an Xmas present for a grannie, great Aunt or your lovely elderly neighbour, please consider According to Eve. They're so hard to buy for, but most of them love a slice of nostalgia :-)

This ol’ jug looked tired so I gave him a red and green makeover. It’s the #decoupage version of wearing a Xmas jumper. 😁

A lady from Hong Kong wanted to tell me how interesting she found 'According to Eve' as someone who hadn't been raised here.
She doesn't use Amazon. By the time my hair was done, she had written this. How lovely!

There's a special place in hell for those - and it's not just Mone - whose first thought during a national emergency was that this it was an opportunity to get rich by looting the Treasury.

Well I’ve been in rapture because my car came from the garage days earlier than expected. Is that what they meant?

The true question right now is whether you believe in the moral character of the British public. If you do, you'll want to have the fight with Reform. You'll believe that the public will hate the idea of breaking up families, spying on & deporting people who've worked here for years.

Now this is a great idea!
There ought to be a weekly (daily?) show based entirely on exposing the most recent lies, fabrications and deceptions of every political side. With a leader board to reveal who lies most.
