How do you do? I am a young lady with her head stuck firmly in the past, a 1940s throwback with a love for anything and everything of that era. I'm reading English and will devour any book. Currently looking for a '40s husband who would love to have half a dozen kids.

A rare early 18th century Memento Mori band gold known as a skeletal, as the whole length of the skeleton is employed on the outside of the hoop, with other emblems. The earliest known example is dated 1659. This ring is enamelled in black with a full skeleton, twin hearts for love and an hourglass, symbolic of the passage of time and the brevity of life.
Today’s Hannibal-inspired lunch: asparagus in vinaigrette on parma ham with a poached egg (the first poached egg I’ve ever made!)
Apologies for the terrible photos. This is last night’s dinner: scrambled eggs and liver on ryvita, with a tomato and basil rose. My mission is to recreate the loin with cumberland sauce dish:

We’ll meet again…
I’m going to try to revise for my upcoming exams, and carry on with elements of my ’40s experiment, which means that I will be logging out of Tumblr for the coming days/weeks. I’m not sure how long it will last, but at least you will have an explanation as to why I am not here at all. I will be trying to update my blog once a week or so.
Good luck to everyone else who has exams and coursework deadlines looming, and au revoir!
