Think we would have to take the first floor out of your cottage if we visited @Busy-Lizzie!
@Plantminded.... Smoke alarm duties and light bulbs are also on Hubby's job list. Although step son is 6ft7 with dreads also so I have sick leave and holiday cover too! 😁👍
Back when policemen got out of cars, there was a local policeman who was well over seven foot.. You could see his head over the wall as he walked about. Haven't seen a police person on foot for years. Maybe that's a good thing and maybe it's not. We had stuff nicked out of our car and in hindsight we were lucky they didn't take the car. Keys go in a Faraday box now. We didn't bother reporting it.
I thought you were a woman too. Isn't that funny? My friend is 6'2" in her bare feet so I didn't dare ask! 🤣 I was on a charity forum/live chat thing a while back and my user name, while made up, sounded male. People speak to you very differently when they think you're a man. I found that very odd so I changed it to a girlier name.
Home-made trifle in a glass bowl, with layers of trifle sponge, jelly, tinned fruit salad, custard and whipped double cream. Topped with multi colour sprinkles. At Christmas Mum decorated the top with tiny silver balls (edible).
In the 1960’s we kids knew that we had strawberries for the Wimbledon fortnight. Garden-grown produce such as chunky knobbly green beans, peas in pods and bright red tomatoes warm from the sun.
Apples & pears were early autumn. Oranges & tangerines in mid winter. Hot chestnuts which Mum stabbed with a knife and baked in the oven in the days before Christmas.
chicken was expensive at certain times of year. Lamb was in the butchers shops only in early summer, a couple of months after lambing season.

My OH is 5ft6, his Norfolk cottage has low ceilings.
