...no, Topbird, not World Cup coins... knew nothing of football until I met my OH. But I did collect tea cards - lots of series - flowers, wild animals etc, but I don't think I managed to complete any of the sets...
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
Not sure if it's a senior moment / me being dim or just newbie-ness, but I've only just realised that when on sowing instructions it says 'don't eliminate light' or something similar, that it means don't cover the seeds with compost!!! I thought it meant don't put them somewhere dark and I remember thinking earlier in the year when doing lots do sowing that it was a daft thing to say as I might be new but even I know seeds need light to grow!!! Durhhhhhh
Orchid lady. I think you were right originally about the light thing. It would say on the packet of seed if the seed should be on the compost, and seed as variable re their needs for light
Next to the Vesta curries on the shelf were packets of spaghetti Bolognaise. inside the box three sachets, little lengths of pasta, pink gritty stuff, and a little thing of Parmesan smelling of sick. Oh, the sophistication of it!!
Does anyone remember the golliwogs on Robertson's jam? You collected tokens and got badges or little clay figurines. I collected them to get one figure playing the clarinet because of my Dad. Most peculiar. You wouldn't be allowed them now of course!
My Mum used to give us the Vesta Chow Mein and ...Beef Risotto! What a delicacy that was. So much so that, when I was expecting first child... and struggled to eat virtually all normal food...I ate that ...
That's so embarrassing I'm having one more of these
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Someone in this house has had a senior moment and it isn't me. The jar of marmalade has a Hellman's mayo lid on it, no wonder I couldn't find it, thankfully no mayo on the inside of the lid, currently no mayo in the house. We don't have mayo for breakfast or marmalade for dinner.
Fairy I had some of the Golly badges, have you mentioned to biggest little fairy what you scoffed? Maybe get some for an evening when no one wants to cook
Also remember that Vesta beef curry brought me out in a hot sweat taste buds have either matured or died in later years.
My Grandads siblings called him golli, because he had similar hair to the image on the jars, i remember my mom was very embarrassed when she explained it to me! Thank goodness things have moved on!
My poor grandad, his middle name was bulstrode! Who calls a kid that???

I have trouble with that OL. I always feel that the seeds need to be tucked cosily under the compost.
Thank goodness it's not just me, I thought they would all need to be covered to keep warm
