"So we pool our money and buy a super large house so that we live together but happily. Food will be delivered, there will be room inside for a library, maybe two, a bedroom and sitting room each, a handful of kitchens and dining rooms cooking and eating being the only two activities in life that are sometimes better in company (yes, the only two. I said what I said). All pets welcome."
"Tuesday Shrove Tuesday. The last day before the Lenten fast begins this year, along with most of us, I am giving up hope and my annual display of mothering. For it is Pancake Day, and I do pancakes. I make batter and I provide pancakes to the child for breakfast, lunch and should he still want them, which he usually does, whether out of genuine desire for the foodstuff or for the maternal affection and esteem it represents I do not know dinner."
A kabillion-bedroom 17th-century manor house in Yorkshire with a Charlotte Bronte connection sits on one hectare and is for sale for £1.15m. A select group contemplates pooling money to buy a super-large house to live together permanently, sharing libraries, bedrooms, kitchens, dining rooms, and delivered food. The plan welcomes pets, gardeners, birdwatchers, and space for occasional exercise across rolling acres under a humorous 'Introverts' Manor' sign. Shrove Tuesday prompts an annual Lenten choice to give up hope and mothering while celebrating Pancake Day. Pancakes are produced for a child at breakfast, lunch, and dinner in savory and sweet forms despite a general dislike of cooking.
