It is Hallowe'en evening and the last night of Frocktober!

Yeah I'm moderately happy about this ...

First things first: I have to say a gigantic

THANK YOU

for all of your support during Frocktober 2012. It has been nice to know people are reading and the generosity of your donations has been extraordinary.

(If you have not yet donated, it it not too late ... hint.)

It has been a bit of a struggle to keep up the blogging, especially lately as I've been catching up with life after being ill. However I hope you have enjoyed living vicariously in the 1940s with me. I hope you have enjoyed the nice recipes and wisely avoided the bad ones (I did them so you won't ever have to). I hope you learned a bit about life in the forties. Mostly I hope you were inspired to join us next year in Team Darling!

I would like to end this blog with some lists. I love lists, don't you? Here we go.

Yours in Frockingness,
Blossom Darling
