COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

My granny Brodie has a coal fire and it's on regular - there is something really relaxing about a coal fire done you think?

Evening, Kirsty, I most certainly do, though we don't have or need one here.
i used to love feeling warm and cozy, the smell and watching imaginary figures dancing in the flames.
Not so much the going out in the freezing cold to get the coal, though!

Do you like twins? I think they're so sweet, but they do give the mother a lot of trouble.....

I have twin sisters only 17months younger than me - they used to gang up against me

It was a good episode let me know your thoughts tomorrow!
She's awesome. Just came back from the south of France last week. She told me she saw a wild tortoise on the river bank which I got really excited about
I have the best gran I could ever ask for! She also asked me if I'm going to get Christmas dinner at her house - after all she's been through she still wants to cook! But I wouldn't be rude and say no...

There used to be a saying in Wales using the coal board's advertising slogan ( all gone now)
"Come home to a real fire,
- buy a holiday cottage in Wales"

That was when the Welsh nationalists rather stupidly used to burn holiday homes down 'cause they thought they should belong to Welsh people.
Sadly many people in Welsh rural areas didn't want them as there were no jobs so moved away.

Better get the take away menu and the first aid kit ready then.
I have a 3 inch burn across my arm from my last cooking session in school when we made bread.
- they left me I'm charge of getting their creations out if the oven when they all went for lunch.
Good job there were no kids around in the kitchen when I burnt it on a tray.
I did swear a bit!

i think we'll sit you in the corner with a sherry, Lyn.

Hopefully it doesn't include those vile, faux mashed potatoes, aka mashed turnips.

Usually Turkey, or maybe Goose,
with all the trimmings.
