Topic for Week 18: Love and Marriage.

Topic for Week 19: Preserve.

I have now missed two deadlines, but looking back I did cover the Week 18 topic last year in Week 34, writing about English schoolteachers Syd Attrill from Plumstead, Kent and Flo Brown, a miner’s daughter from Wingate, County Durham.

The Week 19 topic I covered in Week 49 last year, writing about my maternal Grandmother Lily Hunt and her recipe book – which although not specifically mentioned, is full of recipes for preserves.
