Episode 51 - Maisie the pig, lemon drizzle loaf and a chat with mum about 1930

17th July 2022 - This week I show you Maisie the pig from Louise Crowther's book, make a lemon drizzle loaf cake, chat with mum about 1930-35 and take you down to the sea. The fascinating fact is heat exchange in a seagulls leg! Welcome, my name is Pene and I live in S.E.England with my husband Pete and four chickens. After my retirement, working for the NHS as a counsellor, I decided to do Penelope’s Chinwag. It’s a chatty vlog about crafting, a fascinating fact about the natural world, maybe a chat with Mum or Pete and a story or poem. In episode 12 I introduced Transactional Analysis, (which is in its own playlist). a model of counselling that is practical and helpful. I finish with a short film usually taken when I’m out walking or from our garden. The short films are also in their own playlist should you wish to listen and watch. 00:00-02:10.
