Come on in

Welcome to 1931. My name is Cecily Graham, and I live in a little village outside York, England with my husband John and our four children: Benjamin, Felicity, Sebastian and Ilse. My days are filled with all sorts of things: friends and family, gardening and hen keeping, knitting and sewing. In this journal, I seek to celebrate the best parts of our days, big or small, humble or grand. We are very, very lucky, and this is where I take the time to remember that.
