My Homeplace Inheritance by Susan Farrell
ONE of the most original Christmas presents I received came through the post, a simple card with a handwritten verse:
We cannot share a cuppa for we re busy here and there,
But often I think about you and remember you in prayer.
So I m sending you a teabag to make a cup of tea and when you re sitting drinking it may you remember me!
Inside was a teabag. My other delight over the last week was having time to read Susan Farrell s book My Homeplace Inheritance. The subtitle Recipes for Life from my Irish Country Childhood sums it up and brought me back to my own growing up.
