Penny is on page 77 of 384 of Perfect Wives in Ideal Homes: The Story of Women in the 1950s

Loving this look at a woman's role in the 50's. In the last chapter I learned how to 'get my man' -
NEVER talk about myself
Be childlike and feminine at ALL times
Don't talk 'cleverly' to him - men are terrified of brainy women.
Hmmm! And so it goes on........

Penny is reading Belles and Whistles: Five Journeys Through Time on Britain's Trains

Love the story of the trains in mid Victorian times up the East Coast route from London to Scotland. This was before the days of restaurant cars, so the passengers were allowed 20 minutes only in York to get off and have a lunch break.

Apparently the soup was deliberately served boiling hot so that it would not cool down to drinkable temperature in that time. It was then poured back into the pot for the next lot!
