A meal from the garden!Well, it was after the addition of steak, peas and wine!
Yep! Even the potatoes.
The first Sleepy Mansions crop of Charlotte’s and Orla’s grown in bags.
Chuffed-ness abounds!
My bank will be one of those lining up with its hand out tomorrow and I don’t know whether I should be shitting myself or not.
Who does?
I have a strange urge to stockpile batteries, water, candles, stuff to make bread with and buy one of those wind up things that is a lamp which can also charge your ‘phone and laptop.
I remember the power cuts during the 70’s and my grandmother making bread.
My Grandfather made Carrot Whisky and Sloe Gin.
Carrot Whisky is very similar to Poteen but the Carotene in the veg gave a colour approximating Whisky.
It was potent shit!

Wonder if I'll get some Lego this Christmas.
I did during 'The Winter of Discontent'!
Eek, by the Winter of Discontent, I was buying Lego.
Oft times do I forget that verily thou art nearer to my son's age than mine.
I think my generation was more Mecano than Lego.
I wanted Mecano SO bad!
Still ATM persisted with the dolls and shit.
Well, up until I autopsied Tiny Tears to see what made her pee.
That's when the fun and games with the Ed Psych started.
I thought Austen was loads younger than me?!
An alternate vocation for you..
I think you'd be (maybe are) a great chef! If Newman could do it..How about a product line of

2)Annies Green Gage Preserves
3)Chutney From The Bucket
4)Gramps Carrot Brandy Souse
etc..
Artemesia.. Hahaha! Sounds like a plan.
Although, unlike Newman, I feel I don't have a face for jars!
