Day 8 Lineage Feel Good Wild Musings with Renee Magnusson
I immediately thought of hanging washing outside to dry. My clothesline broke years ago and I mean to fix it every summer but of all the things I do, this is what links me most directly to Mam and Nanna but even beyond that. It feels like such a healthy primal act. Tremendously grounding. Also adding barley to homemade soups and dishes and each time hearing Mam say how it's chock full of B vitamins and how it keeps you calm and is good for you, especially for your nerves. And 'threepenny-bit potatoes'...a corned beef casserole...which I haven't made for years but which was my favourite meal growing up. So-called by me as a little girl cos the potatoes ended up being peeled in a way that looked like threepenny pieces. These (the coins) haven’t existed for decades and I don't even know if I'm spelling it right. To my ears and accent it's pronounced threpenny. But I knew what I meant and so did Mam and that casserole (with or without the corned beef from a peel-open can!) is delicious and absolute comfort to me. conservatory fresh earth, flowers, waterfall winter banished #53
