We had farmer friends in Peacham and they had one that was actually attached to the house -- a great 'convenience' in sub-zero Fahrenheit winters! It was also the first time I ever had freshly milked milk! Am greatly looking forward to your U Tube presentation!

Well done with sticking to the ukulele lessons - looking forward to your Utube recital! You, and your older friends, with your busy social lives, are an example to us all to live life to the full. I grew up in my grandmother's house which had an outdoor lav, but we didn't have to go down the garden to it, thank goodness.

I am glad the weather and your health are allowing for those walks.<br />Your gathering with friends always sound so nice. I seem to remember you telling us about your friend in her mid-nineties before. If I make it to that age, I hope I'll still be able to go out for lunch with my friends, and have all my marbles left!Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-15941528067367638332017-05-22T00:06:35.225-07:002017-05-22T00:06:35.225-07:00Sounds a good lunch and Tess is a lucky girl to go...Sounds a good lunch and Tess is a lucky girl to go walking so much.

Sitting outside in one of them on a bitter cold winter's morning meant there was definitely no taking your time reading the days's paper.

In Welsh the 'little room outside' is called the Ty Bach. Literally, it means small house. One day a colleague, newly moved to Wales and trying to make an impression with her neighbours, told us that they were thinking of giving their cottage a Welsh name. 'Ty Bach'! I'm afraid we all laughed for about ten minutes before telling her why, but she did see the joke.the veg artisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04029588460808570133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-79972972840542023282017-05-21T13:48:55.830-07:002017-05-21T13:48:55.830-07:00I will definitely watch a clip of you playing the ...I will definitely watch a clip of you playing the ukelele on YouTube.
