River Cottage School

[dexterdoglancashire]

Yes, valmarg - you are right this is HFW's latest book. Hot off the press! You can also get a copy from the river cottage website. Haven't seen it myself - my ask santa! DDL

[Lesley Jay]

Hugh is on the Paul O'Grady show tomorrow (Wednesday) 5 pm. Channel 4.

[valmarg]

Alison, I am thoroughly enjoying the book. In fact, since OH brought it back from the library, he hasn't had a look in!!

It is a collection of his cookery articles, taken over a long period of time, ie before River Cottage (so far). It is humerous, but then again, what would you expect from him.

I would have to admit, that until I saw him on TV, I had never read any of his articles. I'm not even sure which paper/magazine he wrote for, but in the earlier articles he does mention Punch, which has long been defunct (twice).

Oh, and if anyone is interested, he is (according to Radio Times - which has been known to get things wrong!!!) a guest on the Paul O'Grady Show, 5pm to 6pm on Channel 4 tomorrow (Wednesday 16 October).

Also Alison, it is Terry's old Gals (and Geezers) whichever applies. Nothing to do with duvets!

Sorry, got to get back to the book.

Have to try and catch that, if we're back from the plot by then! Seems we are always the last ones left on at night, working long after everyone else has gone home! lol!

[valmarg]

Well, what a disappointment!!!!

We recorded the Paul O'Grady show!!! Complete waste of tape.

He had that stupid tart Jade whatsername on, making inane remarks when
HF-W was on.

Any of you out there who missed the show, YOU MISSED NOTHING!!!!!

At least the HF-W book they mentioned, is the one I am reading at the moment, and it is well worth reading.

I shall be giving PO'G's show a very wide berth in future, if this is anything to do with the standard of his show!! - CRAP!!!

Yeuk!!

[Lesley Jay]

But Hugh looked really cute and cuddley didn't he???

[shirley]

missed it but it sounds like I didn't miss much as he was not on long..Shame on Paul O'Grady, he gets someone intelligent for once.

[valmarg]

But Hugh looked really cute and cuddley didn't he???

Well yess, LJ, he did, but having been looking forward to the programme, and making OH record it, it was a real letdown.

That stoopid Jordan asking what a Yeti is. I answered, probably your first cousin!

I shall just go and sheathe my claws,and get over my disappointment by reading some more of the book.

P.S. Roll on 2nd November, and his new series!!

[Lesley Jay]

That is what these programmes are like. Hugh should have been the only guest because I bet him and Paul would have got on well with them both being smallholders.

Well I've heard Paul O'Grady called some things but never a small holder

[skegblade]

I can't agree more Nick; didn't like him as Lily Savage either

[Lesley Jay]

Nick we will have to agree to disagree.

[silver8]

Have to say I really like his tv shows and his meat book is brilliant.But its all getting a bit too much.His so called"free book"in todays Independant was rubbish.One piece was written by his head chief at River Cottage.How many smallholdings have a head chief.This is not living the dream but exploiting peoples fantasies.

[Lesley Jay]

You can hardly blame him for making the most of his popularity. Hugh has his smallholding/farm which is his home and also the River Cottage business where his head chef works. I still do think that Hugh has changed the way alot of people live their lives - growing their own vegetables etc and for the lucky ones opting out and buying a smallholding.
