Enjoyed reading about all your curiosities :0) There is something similar in the house where I grew up, a wasp nest the size of a tennis ball, dolls in various national dress my Dad bought from airports, some a bit chipped inherited china...

Posted on Mon, 06 Mar 2023
My Dad was thrifty, I think his family were Methodist or something like that. He was always trying not to spend unless he had to. It used to irritate my Mum a lot. One of the moneysaving things was holidays. We used to tumble out of the back of...

I know it has lots of vitamin C and potassium, which is what bananas have, isn't it? And I think there is a type of protein in the skin, along with B vitamins. I guess the problem is about them being solid carbohydrate, and also how they are...

I will need to read this
Posted on Mon, 27 Feb 2023
I will need to read this again. But it struck lots of chords with me. As a child, remember my Dad inheriting a HUGE sideboard from his Aunt. It needed six strong people to bring into the house and was such dark oak. I felt it didn't want to be...

I don't really understand why
Posted on Tue, 21 Feb 2023
