If you haven’t heard me whittering on about it already (see previous blog post), you’ll know now! I’m quitting my job to write my first book and self-publish it end of March 2026. Join the waitlist here: https://the1940sexperiment.com/ration-book-recipes-new-book/
I’ll once again be living and breathing rationing come January 1st, partly out of necessity (to spend as little as possible during the first 3 months of 2026) but also because I miss living through history, and it seems a fitting thing to do while writing the book.
I’ve put some thoughts in a short YouTube video above to kick off Vlogmas. I am TRYING to find time to do a little update every day, mostly as shorts, and looking to create some quick ration book recipes that I am finding in old books and newspaper clippings too.
Must fly, work starts in precisely 4 minutes, have a wonderful day and thank you again from the bottom of my heart!

Best of luck to you! 🥂❤️
Good for you, wishing all the very best for your new adventure & where it may take you x
Oh, bless you, Carolyn,
I know you are desperate to get your book published, and you have such a short time frame in which to do it, but please be careful about the self-pressure workload. Take the greatest of care, Frances x.
An exciting new chapter!
Hi Carolyn, You have faced SO many challenges in your life, this one may be the best and the happiest you have ever faced. I wish you all the best in this latest endeavor.
Do you have a PO box? I have a few WW2 little cook books that may be helpful. I live in Australia, and my family have no need for them, but I would love to send them to you. You are the only person that I know who would enjoy them!!
Is there is a way that I can send them to you without letting the weird world know of your address!!
Take care and have fun with this latest chapter of your life.
Greatly looking forward to your creative endeavor! You are a very brave and marvelous lady doing wonderful things – I raise my cuppa to you! 🙂
I’m really happy for you! Ive thought for a long time that you should write a book. You have dedicated yourself to this more than anyone and I’ve learned so much from you. I can’t wait to buy the book!
