Mustard plasters! That's something I haven't thought of for ages. And that is exactly what Nana's like, isn't it?
Awww, thanks so much, Cel! I loved these books so much much when I was young, Ballet Shoes especially, and I needed a good reminder of why I always admired Petrova on a rainy day like today. Off to go do something I love! *hugs* Maggie
