Part 2 follow up to Jane Austen's house Chawton

Thank you for your comment below on Aug. 25, 2017, in answer to my previous observation and question Aug. 24, 2017.

The bone-china tea cups look quite fetching.

What makes them stay in place and what might one do to make them clean if they manage some dust?

Kate Greenaway - The Grace and Tenderness of the Childhood Illustration

The last paragraph under the sixth subheading, Books, advises us that "Kate became one of the three most popular illustrators who worked for [Edmund] Evans [Feb. 23, 1826-Aug. 21, 1905]."

Who might the other two popularest illustrators have been?

Essex days; Hylands House and Park

The ninth in-text image has the caption "Swan pond with no swans!"

Is the water stretch without swans permanently or temporarily?

Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous observation and question.

Tumblr has a Family tree of Tuatha de Danann. It lists as its fourth entry Bodb Dearg, among whose children of mothers no longer known to us Doirend, variant spelling of Doireann.

It looks like only her name and its meaning and its variant spellings make it into anything about her!

What might be the earliest extant source about Tuatha de Danann and their famous and not-so-famous -- such as Doireann -- descendants?

Flower Festival at Bramall Hall, Cheshire

The fifth in-text image of the flowered, foliaged cake and the eleventh in-text image of the table-center garland look inviting and photogenic.

Might their flowers be edible?

Kate Greenaway - The Grace and Tenderness of the Childhood Illustration

Thank you for the links at the end of your wizzley.

Generally, I approach any links after I avail myself of all the currentest, recentest of your wizzleys at the Wizzley buzzing and new pages.

But that changes when the site address in your end-of-wizzley links communicates something special, like Cinderella images.

The aforementioned link featured no Cinderella interpretations by Kate Greenaway. But then the third subheading here, Childhood, furnished as KG favorites Beauty and the beast and The sleeping beauty.

It interests me to imagine, what with the fifth in-text image of the fancy-dressed girl, how Kate Greenaway imagined Cinderella in her best and her worst clothes.

Might there be a KG interpretation of Cinderella?

Getting the children to eat veg

Thank you so much for your comment May 23, 2022, about smithereened broccoli.

Yesterday I attempted it. Smithereened broccoli does not green anything even as it does not leave any distinctively green taste.

But the spaghetti ragu looked beautifully textured even as it smelled and tasted really freshly beautiful.

So perhaps smithereened broccoli will interact in mysteriously scented, tasting, textured ways that only the food chemistry will understand, correct?

Thank you again for pulverized, smithereened broccoli ;-D.

That same Celtic Female Names of Ireland on the Freepages.rootsweb.com site (https://freepages.rootsweb.com/~mallorybrody/genealogy/Eire/celtirishfem.html) also associates Doireann with the anglicized Doreen as "moody" and with the anglicized Dairine as a legendary princess of Tara, with her forename from the Old Irish daire for "fertile, fruitful."

Might there be information available about Princess Doireann anglicized as Dairine?
