Memories, Memories

This old cookery book with no colour or illustrations was standard issue in second level schools in the mid 1960s. My copy is in a dreadful state but I keep it because of this.

A laughable “recipe’ for custard made with custard powder in my sister’s beautiful handwriting.

My sister passed away in 1964, aged 15 years.
