This was her first ever trip to the home of Benjamin Disraeli, who was in his third year as prime minister; she came to discuss an international crisis.

When Victoria heard that Dizzy was dying she dispatched a minister to Hughenden.He asked Dizzy if he would like Victoria to visit? "No said Dizzy,she would only ask me to take a message to Albert!"

I've really enjoyed this series. There is something in this episode that confuses me. The "Victorian Flour Sieve". It's just a regular sifter. It's the style I grew up with and have multiples of in my cabinets. Why would it be seen as something special, when they've been in production for so long? Are they no longer used in the UK?

Wow. Creepy, but wow. We had a sieve like that when I was in high school. I have no idea why, because my mom didn't bake-- the oven only got used to roast meat!-- but we had the sieve and the only difference was ours had a round red knob. It's like pastry cutters: no one has or uses them any more, as good as they were at their jobs. Um, that would have been the late 1980's. We had a pastry cutter, too, but I don't know if it was ever used for anything. I was the person most likely to cook or bake, and I never found a use for the pastry cutter. I didn't bother with pies or cakes, I never cared too much for sweets. Mostly it just got in the way when putting away cooking utensils after washing dishes.

We have one of those sieves that’s been passed down in our family. I think my great-grandma got it right before the Dust Bowl. I use it a lot, though, lol. Interesting that Rosemary’s never seen one, since I still see them in stores here in the States.
