    2. Marlene Cox
    3. Hi Everyone, Sorry for the long gap in my answering your "Welcome to the UK" letters, but a few hours after resting and eating, I upped and left the building to spend some time with my daughter in Chesham who had 12 days holiday from work, a luxury that we seldom get to enjoy together. We had planned to do quite a few things, the main one had to be postponed for the time being; and the next really important one that had worried me since just after Easter was trying to find my cousin who I had been trying to phone from back home since Easter Friday. After trying various neighbours doors in her area in St Albans found out she had been in hospital for weeks and still has a couple or so weeks left to go, we, that's Linda,Tony [my S-in-L]& I surprised her and hopefully cheered her up with an unannounced visit, and I was relieved to see that she was coping OK with the enforced bedrest, we then went off shopping: like a lot of you Trivvies Linda also has the Card Making bug big time :-)))) Sorry for those with Birthday Greetings that I have missed on Gen Triv..... Peter, Shaun and Irene, and also Glennis and Otto's WA ... hope you all had a good time. Sorry that your 89th birthday Johno was a very wet one and not a good one for you ... but I'm awaiting that lovely hug with you and promise it will be a Gentle Comfy one. Calling John up in the Liverpool area on the canal hope you are having a good time sorry the weather is also letting you down. Sharla ... hope your plans to the UK and Italy are going well and hope you get your wish to meet up with the Trivvies. Hope your back is better Sue, and that you had a fairly restful weekend. Big HUGS to anyone who needs them >>(((((HUGS))))))<<. Marlene back among the Trivvies Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com

    3. That sounds lovely and I bet the smell is gorgeous. The blooms seem to be smelling better this year than others. When I was on the train the other day the smells were coming in the carriage. Some, like the Oilseed Rape and the Lilac are very strong and pungent. Maggie Lovely to hear from you Johno! I too love bluebells, we used to go bluebell picking when I was a child, happy memories. The high desert is in bloom here, roses, daffs, cactus and more... all showing off their beautiful colours.

    3. From The Times, 25 Oct 1816, Posted with permission of the transcriber, Petra Michinson. Geo. The Carlisle paper of the 19th says, - "The number of children running begging from house to house, in this city and neighbourhood, is at this time very great. Some, no doubt, are in want, but the greater part are young impostors, instructed in all the cant and cunning of those grown older in the art. They go in parties, sometimes to the amount of six or seven, and pretend to be brothers and sisters; they are fitted out expressly for their expeditions, and from morning to night, to obtain alms, are in the constant practice of lying and dissimulation." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A few days ago, an eel was caught in the river Line, Cumberland, which when opened discovered in its maw an entire bird, of the size of a hedge-sparrow. This circumstance shows the rapacity of the eel. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At the Carlisle Assizes, John DONALD, John PELLETT, and Sarah DONALD alias ARMSTRONG, were found guilty of burglariously entering the house of Mrs. HUDSON, of Lowe's-water, at midnight, on the 8th of April last, and stealing therefrom about 40L. in bank notes and specie. The burglary was effected with the greatest audacity; the whole of the family being tied hand and foot previous to the robbery. DONALD was left for execution; but PELLETT, and the female, who lived with DONALD as his wife, were respited. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Times, Tuesday, Sep 24, 1816 EXECUTIONS. - Yesterday morning John Attwood EGLERTON, for a detestable crime, suffered the sentence of the law before the Debtors' door, Old Bailey. John DONALD, aged 32, convicted at the late Carlisle Assizes of committing a burglary at Loweswater under aggravated circumstances, suffered the sentence of the law, at the top of English-street, on Saturday last, about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, in the presence of an immense concourse of spectators. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    3. From The Times, Friday, Aug 26, 1816, posted with permission of the transcriber, Petra Michinson. Geo. Extract of a letter from Bunfoot, near Langholm (Dumfriesshire), dated the 16th August:- "As your two sisters, who had accompanied you to Carlisle, were yesterday returning to Langholm, in an open carriage, a thunder cloud, or rather water-spout, burst upon Irvin-hill. The wood that overhangs the Esk appeared in an instant as if growing in a lake; the road was overflowed, every little brook swelled into a torrent, and the thunder and lightning became tremenduos. The coachman, seeing no safety but in escaping from the desolation around him, drove furiously along. He had four bridges, over brooks and ravines which crosses the road, to pass. The wheels of the carriage were hardly off the last of them when it gave way, and the alarm which its bursting gave the travellers was increased by the lightning having split, at nearly the same moment, a large oak tree within a few yards of them. I have just come back from surveying the scene of desolation, and can hardly yet understand how they escaped. The road for several miles is entirely carried away; all the bridges are broken; and in the one which burst at the moment the carriage passed it, the waters have left a chasm between 40 and 50 feet deep. The effects of this storm, which lasted from a quarter past two o'clock till within a quarter of four, appear incredible. In the narrow spot where it raged, upwards of a thousand trees have been torn up by the roots; and such was its violence, that of the stones that formed the materials of the wall on the road-side and of the bridges, hardly a vestige remains." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At Carlisle Whitsuntide hiring-day, on Saturday, there was a great number of servants in want of employment, of both sexes. Men's wages were very low, and few engagements made. Women's wages were rather better, in consequence of a greater demand. During the bustle a great many robberies were committed.

SICKROOM COOKERY IN A FLAT [A Woman's View]...part #3 ( From a Correspondent ) A SAVOURY JELLY. Savoury jelly suits some sick people better than the sweet: ....................... Use white and a little tarragon vinegar, lemon-juice, and salt, always remembering that the liquid must be in proportion to the stiffness of the stock. Where cold food is desirable, a puree made of veal, chicken, game, or rabbit, pounded with a mortar and rubbed through a sieve may be set in this jelly; a small mound turned out is very tempting. White fish may be so heated. But a steamed souffle simply made is more generally welcome: .................................. This can easily be evolved from part of a chicken or pheasant, or even from rabbit cooked for the family. Well cook the meat, rub through sieve, mix with about half the quantity of white sifted bread crumbs, moisten with a little gravy, cream, or yolk of egg. Stir in quickly enough well-frothed white of egg to mix lightly into the puree, steam 15 minutes in a buttered basin, turn out and serve with a little clear gravy or thin white sauce. Flan d'epinards, as prepared by an Italian chef, sounds magnificent, but is a quite easy and often forms an acceptable variant of the pudding course for both invalid and family: ..... Wash, boil, and finely chop two large handfuls of spinach, rub through sieve. Add an equal quantity of 'bechamel' sauce, a simple mixture of butter, flour and milk, which any cookery book will explain. Mix well, add two well-beaten eggs, put in six buttered cups, steam half an hour, turn out and pour thin white sauce round.

SICKROOM COOKERY IN A FLAT [A Woman's View]...part #2 ( From a Correspondent ) Calves' foot jelly will occur to the care-taker as a thing to be desired, and probably also as an unfathomable mystery, which it is not: ...........

Clear off any bits of meat, and boil the foot or feet in two quarts of water till this is reduced to one quart. Strain and cool; the result should be a firm, alabaster-like jelly. Its top and the sides of basin should be washed, and the jelly, leaving out any sediment at bottom, placed in a very clean stewpan with the thinly peeled rind of two lemons, white sugar as liked, a few threads of saffron costing about 2d., and the juice of three lemons. Add the whites of three or four eggs beaten to a stiff froth, and their shells washed and crushed. Stir gently, then boil up, and leave to stand half an hour on a low flame of gas or at side of fire without shaking. Strain twice through then tea cloth, the second time put through with a cup. Wine should be added just before taking from fire, about 1 gill to a quart. When cool pour into a damp china mould. A nourishing cream may be made thus: ......... Mix two large yolks of egg with one gill of creamy milk. Make into a custard with a little sugar and vanilla or lemon flavouring. Mix with an equal quantity of jelly, or 1/4 oz. of gelatine. If "sponge" texture is liked, add one stiffly beaten white of egg when nearly cool enough to set. to be continued..........................

SICKROOM COOKERY IN A FLAT [A Woman's View]...part #1 ( From a Correspondent ) When any serious illness invades a flat, life becomes very difficult. Extra housework is needed with extra space for the nurse and her paraphernalia, and with limited store space and servant-power, meals for the patient become a real problem. Yet, after all, the task is not so formidable as it seems, and the "plain" cook or the amateur need not be discouraged. The real need is to choose and prepare the ingredients with discrimination, and many things can be done with the help of a gas ring or flat-topped Lawson stove, without interfering with the family meals. Items for the family can also often be adapted for the sick-room by some further treatment, and all such devices are good if they save the patient from that worry which comes of hearing the creak of domestic wheels out of gear. Beef tea, veal or chicken broth will early be requisitioned, and may be wanted in a hurry:........ If so, remove every particle of fat from half a pound of beef or veal, shred finely, and soak in a gill of cold water slightly salted for at least half an hour. Then bake the whole in a closed jar in the oven, or cook in a double saucepan. Long, slow cooking is better than rapid boiling, but after an hour, a first edition can be strained off and given with feathery bits of toast. Further cooking will produce a savoury brown jelly that may be melted and given hot, or in some cases eaten cold. SUBSTITUTE FOR BEEF TEA. A sick person, however, is apt to tire quickly of beef tea, and strong brown soup comes then as a pleasant change: ..................... Buy bones for this, pick out carefully anything not quite fresh, and boil in plenty of water, with cut-up vegetables as onion, carrot, clery. This also should form a jelly when cold. Take away all the coating of fat from the surface and wash the top, and the sides of the basin into which the liquid was strained with a cloth wrung out in hot water. A few peas or a little pasta or vermicelli may be lightly cooked and added when serving. "Second stock" from the re-boiled bones will give the family a hot soup-course. ...to be continued

    3. I love a "smelly" garden. The weather today is perfect. I've been sitting on the sundeck under the grape arbour with its just-opening leaves. The fragrance from three blossoming azaleas, (firey orange, sunshine yellow and creamy white) plus the purple Chinese wisteria, two lilacs (mauve and white), a bank of multi-coloured wallflowers, and my pink fragrant clematis (smells like vanilla) is absolutely fantastic. Whichever way the breeze wafts, I get a different scent. Mmmmm ...Delicious. Wish I could bottle it and save for later LOL Jennifer Maggie wrote: > That sounds lovely and I bet the smell is gorgeous.
