Which are your favourite chores? I like doing

the washing-up but this week I’m doing the
dusting, too. My sister usually does it, but she’s
staying in the country with a friend for a few
days. Have you ever stayed in the country? I
used to visit my grandparents there in the
summer when I was a child. They used to cook
wonderful meals with no microwave or blender.
In fact, they had few gadgets and did
everything by hand. But with or without
anything technical, believe me, nobody could
cook better than my granny!
