“Ease your whiskers, rest your paws,
Pies and puddings fill the stores
Sweetly dream the night away
Till sunshine brings another day”
Jill Barklem, Autumn Story

“Roast the chestnuts, heat the wine,
Pass the cups along the line,
Gather round, the log burns bright,
It's warm as toast inside tonight,”
Jill Barklem, The Secret Staircase
