The Blue Zones and Bill Bryson, I love his writing, I'm currently listening to two of his books including At Home, his witty, quirky view has me chuckling often. What really gave me the warm fuzzies, was your memory of the food in books read as a child, Narnia and the Famous Five were amongst my favorites also, and the Googlebuns made by Silky in The Magic Faraway Tree, I still dream about. On reflection Amelia, my deep love of food and cooking for others most definitely stems from these childhood stories. Whimsy, magic and places of excitement are but a moment away - thank you for bringing back these lovely feelings for me.

It makes me so happy to hear that! Googlebuns sound like they MUST be delicious - even though I've never read the book! ❤️

Alongside Pop Biscuits and Toffee Shocks - I wonder now, if Google got their name from this book hmm. It's a wonderful story and in my opinion, you're never too old to enjoy it - by Enid Blyton.

The conclusion of the Times article sums up my reaction: "Long-term relationships are all about developing a dialect so embarrassing you’d rather be shot than have audio of your daily conversations leak.”
