never knowingly undershipped

Saw this card the other day - Modern Day AU Audrey would absolutely buy it for her wedding anniversary with Siegfried.

“You look absolutely perfect,” he locked eyes with her as he spoke, trailing his hands up her arms. She relished the contact and blushed under his gaze. Siegfried’s touch and attention felt so natural to her, she wondered how she had gone so long without it, as close as they had been before, he had now become almost part of her, completely inseparable. 

He picked up her hand, ever so gently, a carefulness she knew he harboured but rarely saw, and stroked his thumb across her fingers, sending a tingle straight down her spine. They had held hands before, they had hugged, but this felt different

The Skeldale family still don't know about the blossoming relationship between Siegfried and Audrey, how will they react when they do find out?

In my holby days, I learned so much about medical conditions especially heart surgery but my most recent discoveries have been about the 1940s while writing ACGAS fic. Probably the last thing I learned while researching was all about Marguerite Patten and her cookery books and radio show during the war which basically helped women (because it was women doing all the cooking in those days) make the most out of the rations for the week in WWII. I was particularly interested in how things were rationed (for instance some things by weight as expected but there were things rationed by price which I hadn’t expected!), and I hadn’t realised how policed it was - you told the gov. where you were going to buy the bacon from and you stuck to that no matter if you were buying everything else elsewhere. This podcast was where I began in this little quest, and I hope that all the rationing associated knowledge will find its way into a little fic I’ve started based on a couple of filming pictures!!
