Can't tear myself away! Have to be there for 12.45pm. Just listening to Webster Booth - singing "Serenade in the Night". Lovely.

Dear Glenda, Traditions have died for many as both husbands, wives and adult kids all work and often not close to home. Some retired people still have a substantial tea. My mum lived on her own but she always when in her 70's had sandwiches or a pork pie, a dessert and cakes with her pot of tea and no t-bags either. Hot toast etc in the winter. Her trifles were to die for. A great pastry cook. My neighbour is 80 but by gosh; take lunch if I pop in or do a job for her. My last one there: 1. Bowl of Cawl, like Scouse, made with lamb and veg & pots in a bowl 3 1/2" deep 9" across, full! Served with cheddar cheese and bread & butter. 2. Then roast beef, roast chicken, home grown potatoes, & assorted veg, bottles of home made pickles on the table and more bread and butter, two kind of bread! 3. A bowl the same size of hot apple and topped off with hot custard. 4. Pot of tea with asssorted cakes and jams. Then asked if it was enough and she meant it!! Its hard work in these hills. Even crossing the fields to visit, especially at this time of the year. I am not allowed to leave in the dark without some hot food inside me if I have popped in to see how she is after 6pm. Bacon and Eggs, pot of tea bread & butter etc.......... I or anyone that visits are not asked it gets presented on a tray in front of a roaring fire. And an ashtray too. She has spent her life looking after the home for her now deceased brother. Has never been to the pictures, hasnt got a TV only had a phone in 2 yrs ago. Reads the papers and listens to the radio. Is very happy and content and looks like a cherub but by gosh she is sharp. Only a few years ago if some stock got loose out with a stick and gone. I would really have to run to keep up with her. Farm meals around here are much the same in many farming households. You work you get fed in the house no ruddy brought sannies as in England where only if you are part of the family and even then not so common. Tea was always the same in my home, my Grandfather set up a tea & coffee importing and packing bus in Nottm and his son ran it. So teas were a part of our household, but never China tea. Only Celylon & Indian.

Hi Jim, You just reminded me that a few weeks ago I tried to find Royton to visit PC World. Not that I like the firm but it seemed a good idea at the time. I only lived in Hyde and if it was a half hour trip to Oldham, that might have been stretching it. Anyway, I arrived on the outskirts of Oldham and spent three hours travelling in circles in one of the worst rain storms I've ever experienced in a steamed up car with all road signs completely obliterated. Now I live closer and we have a newly opened motorway as a link I might try again sometime although Staples have a store round the corner from me.

Brian, I thought of that and tried it, and I can't see this signature anywhere. Angela cyprus

What a good lad you was going fer messages :-) try and get a kid to go messages today having said that they probably wouldn't be safe to go :-( I remember working out folks divi and as I was doing so I came across a one of a neighbour who had quite a bit of unclaimed, she was delighted when I told her but I got wrong off the boss. He was a typical company man and would have preferred the company kept the loot :-) I remember him working all hours and he was well into his sixties before he retired, he lived with his mother who dressed like a duchess yet he used to wear an old threadbare suit. Happy Days, TTFN Marion <<Arh can still remember my mums Co-Op No from ganning up the Cannon ( Low Fell.) te dee mi anties messages in 53. Yer see she sentus there fer mi ols an mi Antie didna ave a No!! I did the messages an mi mum got the divi. 67791.(Nottm.) Mind you mi Anties pocket money came heavy or crisp, she were a poet!

It has been just WONDERFUL having all this mail coming in this morning, but I just HAVE to go and get ready for the Christmas Fair, and will be out all afternoon. Looking forward to lots of mail when I get back. Wasn't it great to hear from Paal in Norway, about the Skaus!

We always had this problem sending money to Canada when my sister's family were young. In the end, we started buying our own present to save the postage money and the exchange rate. Marged | This is interesting. I notice it costs a fortune to exchange money | with the UK.

Glenda - are you SURE you're not in Liverpool? That's scouse if ever I heard it - my recipe, right down to the pressure cooker. Missed out the Oxo stock cubes, though. Any left over - Put a pie crust on it the next day. Marged | We also use the cut up meat...we call it stew meat; this is | usually made with the chuck roast cut. When I use cut up | meat I will put it all together after browning the stew meat. | With the roast I will put the vegetables on top, and use a | pressure cooker to cook them... If the roast is on the large | side, I cook the meat for a certain time, then add the veggies | and finish cooking them all together. The savory smells draw | my husband quickly into the kitchen. This is his favorite | meal, I think. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
