English Rose just sent me this, which describes fairly accurately how we are feeling..
Have you ever made bechamel sauce?
Well, if you have, there is one moment in the middle of the preparation when the flour starts clumping and the proteins in the milk precipitate. The whole thing looks like a big messy blob. This is when you feel like emptying the content of your saucepan in the bin. But don't! All you have to do is to keep stirring and stirring. After a while, the clumps melt and you end up with a beautifully flavoured sauce.
Some days in life are just like that. Everything is upside down and there seem to be no way out.
Just resist. Keep calm and carry on.
Everything will be fine.
IT WILL BE WONDERFUL. NOT JUST FINE. YOU KNOW IT!

ReplyDeleteI love this. If only all the English, and not just our English Rose, were still like this. Grandmother wisdom: there should be a book.
