😂… & moss along the windows of the ‘orange box’ Morris Traveller In the early 80’s we squeezed 2 adults & 7 kids into the Mini version - no seatbelts in the back, 3 on the backseat, 3 in the boot & smallest on the lap in the front. Health & Safety nightmare! 😱 made me the well adjusted adult….🤣

Yep to all 20 😱 not far off age-wise. My first telephone number had 3 digits, a threpenny bit bought enough sweets to be a treat & we slid from side to side across the back seat of the car as Mum drove around the corners 🤣

Son #2 was larger than life, taking up the whole screen with his 1000 yard stare just after the machine gun placement was seized. 🤩 Brendan Fraser is a lovely bloke - he shook hands along the whole line of extras - after they were allowed to stop being dead & get up from under their blankets 😎

Great piece of work from Lidl and a great perspective to have - planetary and human health do go hand in hand. What’s bad for us is also bad for the planet - like eating meat and dairy for example, and foods full of fat, salt and sugar (aka processed foods). www.edie.net/britains-die...

Yay! - Seeds sown last weekend have popped up as quickly as a quick thing & school patch has been lovingly watered by top buddies meaning I could take a break (after exams & reports…) Even managed a perfectly timed trip to the rose garden at Mottisfont to commune with their plants 🌹🌹🌹

Patchwork is a masterpiece. I anticipated a gorgeous picture book, but the reality is a meticulously researched biography, neatly dovetailed with details from Austen’s own works - I couldn’t put it down.
