Ever wondered how to fit the ironing into an already overcrowded schedule? Or how to deal with houseguests whose political opinions you abhor? In this charming book, “Her Ladyship” provides the answers to these and other pressing domestic questions! In her trademark lightly humorous but always elegant style, she addresses such issues as day-to-day housekeeping and routines, managing “staff” (cleaners, au pairs, gardeners) effectively and graciously, how to avoid committing social faux pas, and how to get the kids to help with the housework. Even if you live in a small apartment—rather than a large country estate—you’ll find just the gentle guidance you need to run your home properly.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Her Ladyship, star of Her Ladyship's Guide to the Queen's English and Her Ladyship's Guide to Modern Manners, turns her attention to another tricky area of modern life: how to run a home Ever wondered how to fit the ironing into an already overcrowded schedule? Or needed advice on how to deal with house guests whose political opinions you abhor? In this charming follow-up to the popular Her Ladyship's Guide to the Queen's English, Her Ladyship dons the mantle of a modern Mrs Beeton to provide the answers to these pressing domestic questions, and many more. In her trademark lightly humorous but always elegant style, she discusses important issues such as day-to-day housekeeping and routines (exactly how clean do you need to keep your house?), dealing effectively but graciously with 'staff' (cleaners, au pairs, gardeners), how to avoid committing social faux pas when entertaining, and useful ideas for getting the children to help with the housework. The book is not aimed solely at people who live in large country houses, like Her Ladyship, but at anyone who feels in need of a bit of gentle guidance on running a home properly, whatever its size or type, while still coping with the demands of work, childcare and all the other perils of modern life. Walking is one of the most natural and fundamental of all human conscious movements. It raises your heartbeat, calms your mind and tones your muscles. How ever fast or slowly you walk you are able to achieve well-being and fitness. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
