Cheeky!   One has to play 'hard to get'  sometimes - it's expected..

Most of you will have a school photograph, taken by 'H Tempest Ltd'.  Reputed to be the most successful and largest schools' photographers in the country. Although they had offices/photographers all o

By coincidence, that's around the same time that Marshall Tallart - on Castle Gate - introduced celery to this country. Back in those days Nottingham was obviously the gastronomic centre of England.

 

Now it's McDonalds and Greggs.

It has to be sliced thinly for salads, as it can become tiresomely stuck between ones teeth !

Celery is about the only food I can’t eat, it makes me shiver!

The smell of it always reminds me of walking through the veg stalls in the old Central market,especially those storage areas the stall holders had at the top end of the market

Seven girls for each available lad - that would mean the girls were all vying for  attention.   I must have been an exception because I never found this to be true......

When all you lovely men realise one thing that you can not train a wife. You can explain things show us the right way and if you really are trying  to make a point raise your voice.  You are wasting your time once you have finished pontificating we go away and do it our way the way it was going to be done before you decided to give advice.  Also remember we know what you want/say before you do, we are good like that.  I shall now go and sit in a quiet room with Ben.

Raise my voice.......... My God Gem. I raise it, raise it again, and keep on raising it, but it doesn't seem to work ! 

I raise my eyes to the Almighty, wander off into the garden, then I'm accused of being mardy. I just don't understand it.
