'My mother-in-law Annie lived with us for 17 years and was
picture-book perfect.' It took a while before the family realised
that Annie was increasingly (as she would put it) 'Mutt and Jeff'.
So Phyllida began to write out the day's gossip at the kitchen
table, putting her notes by Annie's bed before going to hers. One
night as heer husband wandered off to bed he muttering darkly that
she spent so much time each evening writing to Annie she could have
written a book. 'And illustrated it!' Here it is. It is a book full
of the delights of a warm and loving household. Of Boot the Cat
being sick after over-indulging in spiders; the hunt for cleaning
products from the dawn of time; persistently and mysteriously
malfunctioning hearing aids; an unusual and potentially hilarious
use for a clove of garlic; and the sad disappearance of coconut
logs from the local sweetshop. It's about the special place at the
heart of a home held by a woman born in another age. Who polished
the brass when it was 'looking red at her'. Who still bore a scar
on her hands from being hit by her employer when, as a young woman,
she was in service. Who could turn the heel of a sock and the
collar of a shirt, and make rock-cakes, bread pudding and breast of
lamb with barley.
