For some of us today is Palm Sunday with memories of Mother cooking up a large pot of Carlins the night before then frying them for breakfast, high winds usually followed. Not today though Porridge with a compote of hedgerow fruits, Spanish and Moroccan hedgerows that is, "what was that about Global Warming" I ask? It would not surprise me if the Scots Porridge Oats came from Poland.
Sunshine Blue skies and still warm though it was windy last night (outside that is), no mist over the Tees and the Ganzi stays standing in the garden, the fleas will be dropping off as they did when we shot Rabbits and hung them on the wall for a day.
"Oh well" memories are made of this as we used to sing.
Pansyface, Our Grans were a law unto themselves, Monday morning at School after carlin Sunday all the windows would be open cold or not. The point being we could not get enough of them fried with the bacon they were quite "err" well edible.
A cool Northerly wind this afternoon which put an edge on the sunny weather. We need rain - in April? I wonder when those April showers will come - anyone want a bet on which month will be the wettest this year?
GWRS I think it is a Northern thing, we called them Pigeon peas or Brown Badgers and I was led to believe Carlin means atonement. They were always cooked in water the day before then fried in the bacon fat or Butter, the next day, the day after was probably when we atoned for eating them.
It has been a glorious day but has come in cold this evening that's Stockton for you, slave to the icy blasts down the North Sea.
Stockton. It was quite cold overnight and windy by the sound of things outside. Today Sunshine a few wispy clouds and still a cool breeze, looking for the hills I can see the tops over the Valley and the clouds seem to be scudding South at a rate of knots.
