I love the Be-Ro home recipe books and I think I have a ‘miniature’ version of one where you are on the cover, it is for my collector’s doll’s house and the Be-Ro book is in twelfth scale – so cute.

Have returned back to my childhood days so it seems as at this moment in time it can be daunting.So Much I’m reliving the era of vintage, retro (having just purchased a art deco caravan just before lock down and sadly unable to visit the site it sits on).However I’m now in the BE RO book’s which my mum used but alas I wish I’d kept.
Interested to learn you fronted the cover when aged 10 and as a matter of interest been trying to quess which particular edition this is.
Are you in the family group round a table or a little girl with her mother? I know it’s not the one that has a girl certainly pointing at a recipe as this is around 1923…….PLEASE enlighten me as I’ve become a collector of these books.
GLAD to see you in fine fettle and presenting as well as expected. That’s a compliment Julia.
With my kind wishes Linda Morton

HI Julia,

It was lovely being on the lunchtime show talking about plants, and thank you for introducing me – you’re a star!. I absolutely LOVED it! Everyone is so friendly and helpful. I look forward to joining QVC and sharing my knowledge.

Take care, keep safe and well.

Hi Julia,
Well I’m happy to report that 3 of the books have come so far that hubby ordered for me so am a happy bunny. I haven’t read any of your books or Jackie Kablers. I’m more of an Agatha Christie reader. It started when I was in Senior school. Our maths teacher said that all good mathematicians read Agatha Christie books. So myself and a group of friends all went to buy said books! The first one I bought was “Cat Among The Pigeons.” Needless to say it did not improve my math’s skills and I went on to do C.S.E. maths not O’ Level. LOL. Having read and watched a lot of Agatha Christie’s work I am now into books by M.C.Beaton such as Agatha Raisin and Hamish McBeth . I find them a nice ” light” read.
Well there is a bit of good news in that the garden centres are to re-open next week. No sign though of hairdressers opening up!
I have watched all of the Harry Potter films but must say cannot tell which one it is on your blog. I enjoyed the earlier ones more than the latter ones which I found to be quite dark.
We watched the V.E Day programmes and listened to the Queen. It was quite moving in view of the current climate. Must say I cried my eyes out when they sang ” We’ll Meet Again”. Also watched the film ” The Man that Never Was.” I found it fascinating. Although the identity of the man who played such a vital role to throw the enemy off the scent was never known it was discovered , under the right of information act some 50 years later, it was found that he was indeed Welsh. ( So proud).
Well I’m off to bed to read my latest book Its called ” Death of a Nurse.” !!!
Hope you’re keeping well.
Love Tina S. xx
