    I obviously had a very sheltered childhood 😇 ... although I was aware of Ging gang goolie but I didn’t know the words.

    Ma often sang Mairzy Doates but as we were a farming family I always took it to be educational 🐴 🐇 🐑 🐐 ✅ 

     I think a notable addition to the tradition was the iconic I am the Walrus .... 🤣  

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    I only recently worked out it was mares eat oats and does eat oats. How sheltered was that?

    Just popping in to say my dad used to sing this when l was a child. I used to think he had made it up, and then in the early hours of one New Year's day, l heard it on the radio .
    Chickery-chick, cha-la, cha-la 
    Check-a-la romey in a bananika 
    Bollika, wollika, can't you see 
    Chickery chick is me?"…

    I love the way these threads go off in all directions - l like mayonnaise on chips as well.😋

    My mum used to sing that too. Must have been a popular ditty back in the thirties and forties or so. I think I always assumed it was a wartime thing.
