    Afties all - I forgot to post here earlier. Evening @Pat E  ;)
    I'm all behind - like the coo's tail.
    Were you an avid watcher of the Magic Roundabout @Biglad:D
    Yet more cr*p landing on you @Yviestevie. You're having far more than your share. 
    @D0rdogne_Damsel - I sympathise re your friend. Those are very tricky conversations. Hopefully the new chef will help to keep your thoughts positive  :)
    Yesterday ended up a lovely day here - even with some sun. It got a bit muggy at times though. Back to normal today - 12  just now, cloudy and windy.
    I enjoyed my walk - there's two houses which have Virginia creeper on them and they're stunning just now. I often pass them both, and it's been lovely seeing them change over the last few weeks. 
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Indeed @Fairygirl. Along with The Clangers, Bagpuss, Captain Pugwash, Ivor the Engine, The Wombles, Camberwick Green and Trumpton. Happy days  :)

    Noggin was king.
    No contest  ;)

    I hated the Clangers....

    D-fab I'm afraid that, although I'm aware of the Nog, that show wasn't part of my childhood viewing. Maybe it wasn't being shown or perhaps I just didn't like it. Sorry  :'(

    I'm black affrontit. You didn't like it ....
    I'm away to lie down in a darkened room..... :D
    I had a Noggin book and it was a favourite with the oldest fairylet for bedtime.
    Noggin and the Ice Dragon was the one that stayed with me from childhood.  :)

    In a bid to ease the death stares that I'm currently getting from certain quarters, I've done a bit of research. I wouldn't have been 'in the right demographic' when the shows were originally aired so the repeats may not have been on TV at the right time either. I can't remember watching it so I think this is more likely than just not liking it  ;)

    Can I throw the Mr Men and Mr Benn into the mix as well?

    Only if I can have Roobarb and Custard as well 😍 ... son's guitar teacher was a pal of Bob Godfrey's and son got to meet him when he was about 13
