Thanks from a Listener
Dear Aunt Daisy, « I have been reading The Listener first time I "take pen in hand" to write to you. I do so because I have had such good help from the readers of your page that I wish to send greetings, through you, to my numerous friends. In oe ever since its inception, but this is 4 ington the four long weekends-Christ-mas, New Year, Queen’s Day and Anniversary Day-made things extraordinarily difficult for the housekeeper. May I thank, firstly, the reader who asked for. the easy recipe for making bread. Twice I had to use it, the first time in fear. and trembling, not having made bread hitherto. It was amazingly successful. I used half and half flour and wholemeal, kneaded for only 5 minutes as instructed and when risen to double the size put it straight into the oven. It came out perfect. The second hint was how to keep icing soft. Lastly, and most gratefully, may I thank the reader who told how to take stains off a porcelain bath. Since coming to this house three years ago I have spent time, money and energy unceasingly and fruitlessly on a deplorable bath; now, with peroxide and cream of tartar, it is snow white.
