a blast from the past

I went to a jumble sale in the village on Saturday and, as usual, made a beeline for the book stall.  I picked up three paperbacks, and then … then … I saw it.

A cookery book that was my absolute bible when I was first married, and which has been out of print for mamy years.  My copy vanished when I moved down to Bristol many years ago.

I looked it up on Amazon this morning - it’s the Dairy Book of Home Cookery, published by the Milk Marketing Board in 1979.  Starting price for second hand copies: £15.95.

I paid two quid for all four books!  I’m so pleased to have it again :)
