Listening to the birds singing in the garden. So many of them and so loud. How can such tiny creatures make so much noise? Even with the the windows closed I can hear them
Makes me think of spring
seeing our son sitting in front of our open wood fire the lounge supping a Guinness with his pa! ( and knowing he'll be here for the next 10 days!!!)
Bliss.

Potty
I got called out last Christmas day by my sons x girl friend, just before starting to eat our lunch. Shes a care worker and had boken down. I was not pleased but my wife said "oh come on its Christmas" So off i go, The petrol guage was on empty, so i took her to work then toured Devon looking for an open garage, returned with a gallon and put it in, it still wouldnt start. I rang her at work and it emerged she is in the bladdy AA!!!! Turned out that the cam belt had gone. She never paid me for the petrol either. Got home at 3pm after everyone had eaten. Sometimes having skills is a P.I.T.A.
I read somewhere t'other day that supermarkets reckon that jams aren't selling so well as they used to partly cos the younger generation aren't really into them..........
I disagree......especially after just being told my jams are awesome
Sounds a bit showy off but it made me very happy
S*d the housework I have a lottie to dig a batch of jam is always an act of creation ..Christine Ferber
I'd say it's less to do with youngsters not being 'in to' them, and more to do with people being educated to read the labels. I disregard any 'food' product if I can't spell or pronounce half the ingredients.
