Lona one would not expect a Duchess to scrub, anyway this should be Mrs Hughes, the house keepers problem, so now we need a scullery maid, and a scrubber
Lona we do have a mangle and a poss tub In the wash house. Like Ana says we do need a scrubber to operate the scrubbing board. Oh dear where to find a scrubber in Downton Abbey????
I've got 12 cream horn moulds, we can make our own. (no - I've got 18. inherited 6 from mother, 6 from auntie, and six of my own) I've not used them for years.
Tom's in the village driving up and down outside the school trying to look as though he's searching for his lordship's lost pocket watch (probably nicked by Thomas)
If you're very nice to him, he'll bring back some cream horns from the tea room.
I was going to offer to make all those posh people upstairs my mother's trade-mark souffle omelette, which got her a ten-bob note tip from Florrie Desmond in the early thirties, but I need Daisy to hand-whip the egg whites. It needs someone with a strong right wrist and the ability to keep beating for some time. Do you think any of the male outdoor staff would volunteer?
Better still, 1 day on, 1 day off, we still need a Daisy though, to do the boring bits. Please Gnetters, many more are needed to fill in the forms to find a Daisy.
