life story,
did anyone watch the first part. I thought it was charming and funny.
She comes across as so lovely, i wish she was my mum and could cook me all these fabulous dishes.

I enjoyed the programme. She is a thoroughly likeable woman

[emmie]

yes she is, wasn't she the prettiest little girl.
surprised about her contracting polio as well, look forward to the rest of the programmes.

It was a lovely programme, even OH watched it as it was a good history documentary too, showing the effects of the war and also all about contracting polio in the 50s. Well worth watching on catch up. Part 2 (final part) is next week)
Watch first part here

PS the homemade bread and butter pudding looked so yummy! Just like my Mum used to make in the 50s - it has inspired me to try and make it!

i enjoyed it, i bet she has some stories to tell that won;t get broadcast!

i didn't like the look of the b&b pudding though

[Ann]

Does anyone have a Mary Berry cookbook from years ago?

[missprim]

I enjoyed it too and thought she was very brave to do what she did when she was a young woman.Bet she has had a really interesting life and I'm looking forward to part 2. Wouldn't have minded a piece of that Victoria Sandwich cake!

I really enjoyed it, such a lovely woman. Looking forward to next Tuesday's programme.

the bread and butter pudding looked yummy, not one of my favourites, my mums could have plastered the walls, but hers looked perfect.

Hi em ..I've just watched it on catch up this afternoon .She's lovely .
She was really moved to see that picture of her father .I've often wondered ,watching her on the bake off progs ,why her left hand was a bit crooked and thought it was maybe arthritis .I never realised she had polio as child .
She's very unassuming and modest .
She's become a bit of fashion icon too .I love the way she ties her scarf and in spite of watching numerous scarf tying videos I still can't crack it :)
I've got an old book of hers Anne .
