Our trains were delayed both going to and returning from London last week so I had many peaceful hours in which to read. This book really caught my imagination and the hours, more than five each way, went by unnoticed as I was completely immersed in Elsa’s story of the dust bowl in Texas and her journey to California.
A very good read!
You may remember a couple of weeks ago I posted about a new recipe which used Pangrattato. It delighted me to read the following description of how to make it as Elsa learned how to do just that.

We’ll be going to Roots tomorrow and it’s Valentine’s Day this week so I’ve made a cake in the shape of a heart.

A train journey is perfect for reading. I love that too. 🙂

It was such a treat to be able to just read for such a long time. I’m always too busy at home and really relished all that unbusy time. I think I need to add reading time into my days! 🙂

I made the cake for Roots and was then unwell with a bad back so couldn’t go. I froze it and took it last week where it as greatly appreciated! 🙂
