Mince pies banned? Make your own with this recipe!

Liz Small — Tue, 28 Nov 2023 19:25:00 +0000

When mince pies get banned, how do those who love them, cope? Well, a simple solution is just to make your own. We are resourceful canny folk.

Charles Kingsley used a Commonplace notebook

Liz Small — Thu, 02 Nov 2023 16:40:00 +0000

Part of our series on users of the Commonplace notebook, this note is about the British social reformer, Christian Socialist and writer Charles Kingsley. His best known popular work of the time is probably The Water Babies, but with over 40 novels, short stories and poems to his name, Kingsley packed in a prolific output in a short time. His secret? Passion, intellect, faith and his use of the commonplace notebook in which to gather his thoughts and ideas.
