@RevRichardColes @The_Globe I too saw the Lesser/Buxton production, and around the same time saw Anton Lesser as Richard in Henry VI. Thought: that boy will go far.
@TheRegencyCook I came across a reference to stone cream in Elizabeth Taylor's In A Summer Season (1961). It sounds blancmange-like but apparently isn't, containing alcohol and gelatine. Have you heard of or made it?
@ClothesinBooks@c_crampton@ShedunnitShow Where I learned my first German words. Still remember Grizel (?) asking for heiliges Wasser instead of heisses Wasser at the hairdresser's.
