Your words create atmosphere

Your words create atmosphere and bring your town's fair to life ... and they made me laugh.
Especially this bit ...
I often think how it might turn out if this small town fair were in Altrincham instead of Alhaurín....

And that's an interesting bit of information about Victorian postmen. I learn so much about the world and its contents through reading the content of ABC Tales.
I always keep an eye out for the wild birds but there is no sign of any today...

Hello Grace.
Mayonnaise is so called because it was first made, apparently, in the town of Mahon on the Spanish / Catalan island of Menorca. And it has nothing at all to do with County Mayo in the west of Ireland as a lot of people...

In Bulgaria the word for a robin is cherven ogradka (червеногръдка) which, literally translated, means red collar. We do see them about, along with a few blue tits and hedge sparrows but, after the great numbers of wild birds...

As in the story of The Princess And The Pea?
The technology that young people have today would have been considered as Space Age stuff when I was a kid. I'm not a complete technophobe but these days I often feel as though I am being left...

It's awful. I remember when I lived in Wiltshire in England it seemed that a couple of times a year a car full of teenagers would be involved in a fatal accident very late at night.
I could always imagine the circumstances leading up to...

My feelings entirely!
You can say you don't like any other time or day of the year and people will say 'Ah well. Never mind.' But we are not allowed to not like Christmas. 'Bah, humbug!' is the response we get from the revellers, which...

And then there's the beautiful music of Franz Liszt. If it wasn't for him we'd all be Lisztless.

Posted on Sat, 11 Dec 2021
This captures my imagination more and more as it gets harder and harder.
I might have mentioned that there are eleven time zones in Russia.
Also, three of the houses that I have lived in have been No 11 ... but very few people know...

This is such a sad story Grace, and frightening. I know from experience the dangers that our kids can get into whilst growing up. Mine have all reached their thirties now and are unscathed. Having babies is their latest way of putting my nerves...
