I know I’ve told you this before but your relationship with your Mum is so wonderful it warms my heart. I get so excited when your videos pop up wondering what the two of you are up to next. I think people have so much to learn from the two of you about enjoying the most beautiful things life has to offer.

@@MirandaMills I can absolutely see this happening, with time, persistence and patience. Your channel is so unique but is appealing to so many different people...! I would absolutely buy books you cared to release - anything from baking to a baking/literature crossover, or season related books - "A winter in Yorkshire" or something like that, with recipes, photos, history/architecture, and winter poems/prose excerpts. I think that would be heavenly! I would buy all four season books, if they existed. 💕

Up until about 10 years the primary school I work at still had a maypole and once a year the year 2 classes were taught to do the dancing around it. They then performed it in front of their parents. Both my children did it. Obviously it was a transportable maypole and was done in the local community centre. But one of my first memories was watching children dancing around the maypole in the school playground. I was only about 3(?). I remember thinking how much I wanted to do it. The coincidence being this was the school my children were to go to and myself work at. I never got to dance around the maypole. Unfortunately the junior school I attended did t do it. I think we were the last school in the area to carry on the tradition. Such a shame it stopped. I think it so important that these old books are still published. They tell us so much of life and traditions and morals of days gone by. A much more innocent time? ❤

Reading has been my biggest pleasure (and coping tactic) during this pandemic and I became engrossed in novels taking place during WWII with female protagonists. Would you consider doing a post with your recommendations within this genre? Best to you and your mother!!
