Joyce has the thankless task of organizing the teas for the Floral Art Club. Thankless, because Mrs Cowper-Jones can only criticize others' efforts. And, true to form, Mrs Cowper-Jones arrives in full fault-finding flow, complete with large floral arrangement and the hapless Beryl in tow. But today has more in store for Mrs Cowper-Jones than she could possibly imagine - lucky for her, and her audience, that she once met Constance Spry!

As the only survivor of a tragic accident, Tony Russell, aka Tiny, is mentally and physically scarred for life. Years later, he finds himself addicted to the gym and prescription drugs. Relationships and sex are the furthest things from his mind, but when a replacement guitarist steps in for his band Blow Hole, Tony can't help his physical reaction to her. She's a spicy rocker with pink highlights and a scorching attitude, and she's exactly what he needs...regardless of how badly he refuses to believe it. Constance McClaire knows all about addiction. After growing up with a junky for a mother, she refuses to have anything to do with that life...until she meets the brooding, giant bass player for Blow Hole. He doesn't take her shit, has sexy tattoos, and very large hands-but he's clearly an addict and desperately needs help. Getting close to Tony without allowing herself to become emotionally attached is harder than she thought it would be. Addiction is addiction, no matter what it is swimming in your veins, and Constance finds it's Tony she can't get enough of. **Due to the dark and explicit nature of this book, it is recommended for mature audiences only.** The Blow Hole Series is a series of books that can be read as standalones. The line-up of this series is as follows... Playing Patience, Finding Faith, Convincing Constance, Having Hope

Prisons, as you know, have been my hobby wrote the prominent suffragette Lady Constance Bulwer-Lytton. An influential British activist as well as a writer, speaker and campaigner for votes for women - and not forgetting prison reform - Constance Lytton was born in Vienna and spent the first eleven years of her life in India (her father was the Viceroy). After meeting a number of suffragettes, particularly at the Esperance Club and including Emmeline Pethick-Lawrence, Constance took on the 'hobby' of prison reform. She later demonstrated at the House of Commons, along with fellow suffragettes and was arrested, imprisoned, but subsequently released due to her social position and health. Whilst in Holloway Prison in March 1909, she carved the outline of a V on her chest. Outraged by the treatment of fellow suffragettes of a lower class, in January 1910 she took on the pseudonym of Jane Warton to avoid release and suffered much mistreatment, including forcible feeding, at the hands of the prison warders. She was to include these experiences in her book, Prisons and Prisoners. Constance Lytton died in 1923 after many health complications, but with the knowledge that (some) women over the age of 30 had finally been given the right to vote.
In 2011 Grub Street published a beautiful, elegant newly designed, updated and metricated edition of The Constance Spry Cookery Book with specially commissioned line drawings; the first new edition since its publication in 1956. Because The Constance Spry Cookbook is now an established classic and a timeless treasure which has stood the test of time and is the most requested cookery book on wedding gift lists we are producing for the first time in the book's history a deluxe slipcased edition with foil embossing on the cover and slip case and the book has colour tipped pages. It is one of the kitchen bibles, worshipped by millions. Known for its authoritative and comprehensive collection of recipes, this is an essential addition to any kitchen and has become an invaluable source of information for every enthusiastic cook. Published in 1956, when both Constance Spry and Rosemary Hume were among the greatest names in cookery writing, it took three years to produce. Their aim was to offer a supremely practical book with chapters covering kitchen processes, soups and sauces, through vegetables, meat, poultry and game to cold dishes and pastry making. In fact everything every cook, or aspiring cook, would need to know. That the book has been so popular for over half a century is a true testament to how successfully they achieved their aim.
'Does full justice to the remarkable achievements of an unlikely martyr' Mail on Sunday 'A fascinating study of a handful of the potential motivations behind violent political acts through the balanced examination of a remarkable woman' All About History Lady Constance Lytton (1869-1923) was the most unlikely of suffragettes. One of the elite, she was the daughter of a Viceroy of India and a lady in waiting to the Queen. She grew up in the family home of Knebworth and in embassies around the world. For forty years, she did nothing but devote herself to her family, denying herself the love of her life and possible careers as a musician or a reviewer. Then came a chance encounter with a suffragette. Constance was intrigued; witnessing Emmeline and Christabel Pankhurst on trial convinced her of the urgent necessity of votes for women and she went to prison for the cause as gleefully as any child going on a school trip. But, once jailed, Constance soon found that her name and her connections singled her out for unwelcome special treatment. By now, 1909, the suffragettes were hunger striking and the government had retaliated with force-feeding. The stories that began to leak out of bungled operations, of dirty tubes, of screams halfheard through brick walls, of straitjackets and handcuffs outraged the suffragettes. Constance decided on her most radical step yet: to go to prison in disguise. Taking the name Jane Warton, she cut her hair, put on glasses and ugly clothes and got herself arrested in Liverpool. Once in prison, she was force-fed eight times before her identity was discovered and she was released. Her case became a cause celebre, with debate raging in The Times and questions being asked in the House of Commons. Lady Constance Lytton became an inspiration and, in the end, a martyr. In this extraordinary new biography, Lyndsey Jenkins reveals for the first time the fascinating story of the woman who abandoned a life of privilege to fight for women s rights.

Growing up in small town America in the shadow of the Great Depression, Constance uses humor, sarcasm, and wit to tell her captivating stories of innocence, illness, romance, broken dreams and finding peace. She is a natural storyteller, and artist. Her kids and grandkids have listened to these stories and gained insights into life and what you can make of it. We've had lots of joy and laughter through the years and still due to this day.
Connie Sweet thinks she has lost everything that matters after her daughter dies and her marriage dissolves, and she retires from teaching high school science to live quietly on what's left of her farm. But when a wanna-be farmer buys a portion of her land to develop into an organic vineyard and then, outrageously, insists he's improving the place, Connie discovers she does still care, and now she has nothing left to lose. Many neighbors in the small rural community celebrate the development. Vineyards raise property values, and the man is wealthy, educated, attractive, and single. But Connie has lost interest in community, and only keeps company with her neighbor Ellen. On Ellen's urging, Connie teams up with Ellen's troubled, artistic nephew Dylan. He needs something to do, and Connie sets him to surveying the land before it is logged. At first, she just wants him out of her way, but as he becomes involved with the forest and its wildlife, Connie can't ignore the extent of the losses they are facing, losses that are caused by a person without knowledge of the region or its life. It's not fair. When Connie has to look at the situation through Dylan's eyes, it looks downright intolerable. What is home, and who does it belong to? What are our obligations to our neighbors - human and non-human? As Connie tries to explain to the new farmer, we all belong to the places we live. In the end, we rise or fall together.
In Regency England, a lady mustn't show too much interest in a gentleman and it would be social suicide to pursue him. Yet Constance loves Geoffrey and knows he once loved her. If she could just find a way to prove she's changed, she could have her happy beginning with him. It's hard to win one's love back especially when he has his own ideas of how their story should end.
