When the family were staying recently, baby grandson's baptism, we had champagne. I offered my 8 yr old grandson a sip and he said "Oh no, I can't, Mummy says children aren't allowed". Mummy is my daughter who would have had a sip when she was little.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Topbird, I just don't 'get' fondue nor its appeal - burnt lips and grease stops everywhere. If I'm going to eat cheese, it has to be old and very strong.
My son in law's middle name is Aher, apparently its a family name from Jersey. When they got married everyone thought the vicar was clearing his throat.
In the house before last, we found a teaspoon behind some very old wooden panelling. And in our present house there was a glass swan, poked through a hole in the plasterboard round a window... do you think it's something to do with US???
And yes Runnybeak, I too remember Poppet beads...
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
Poppet beads.... did you know that if you let your younger (prob aged about 2 yrs) brother play with them they can go ever so far up a little boy's nose (or was it down an ear)? Either way it involved a trip to casualty and a telling off for me

Until i reached my teens that is, but i soon grew out of it!
I was allowed/given alcohol from a very young age. Apparently Scotch is far more effective than Bonjela teething gel.

In our last house we found one of those Robertsons golly models (yes, it was the guitarist!) under the floorboards in the bedroom. Wierd or what...
