“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
