Description - With These Hands by Pam Ayres

'Mum would get the pudding. She would fish it out of the saucepan, lower it on the big oval platter and whip off the cloth, matador fashion. There it would lie, this great smoking suet duff. You could always tell when it was done because it used to turn an attractive shiny grey colour... we used to call it Old Lady's Leg.'

Pam Ayres is famous for her hilarious stories on subjects ranging from the great suet puddings of the fifties to the poignant Saint Tesco for the nineties. She writes with great wit and perspicacity on the pollution of our beaches, the rigours of the gym and the infernal lure of the national lottery.
