River Cottage

1. Seeing houses that I used to live in, particularly the one I lived in as a child. Glad I am not there now though as it is on clay so probably flooded back garden.

2. Didn't really have a favourite game as they tended to change over time and with the seasons. Jacks was one I quite liked, but was never much good at fivestones. Used to enjoy Tonight with Cliff Mitchelmore but now can't stand the One Show which is a replacement in a long distance way.

3. A misted up window with summer jasmine and wisteria stalks behind it.

4. Husband, son and DIL

5. Is it? I haven't seen it yet. Depends on how good this years one is. I enjoy it, but don't drink Cola, and haven't for years, so it doesn't seem to work with me.  I suppose everyone has to advertise Christmas stuff, but most of it is rubbish, and does lose the real meaning of the event somehow.

Thanks for the Friday Fives VPB. Have a good weekend all and may the sun shine on you.  

Oooh...Good ones this week!

1. Music - The laughing policeman from Family favourites, Marmalade from youth club days, Kings of Leon from a particularly good wedding a couple of years back........

2. Robinson Crusoe with that fab music and The Singing Ringing tree because it was so surreal.

3. The woodburner, not lit yet it's only 9.30am.

4. Life, love and happiness.

5. .....too bloody early. 

1 - When I visit some places I went when young, and view them with older eyes. Some of the magic has sadly gone.

2 - Blue Peter and Crackerjack.

3 - Wallpaper!

4 - My veg plot (even when almost drowning in water), my huge firewood stash (freedom from price rises), and my apple trees, even though it's been a poor year for cidermaking this year.

5 - Time to teach the World to sing......

Thanks for ff's, have a nice weekend.

1. The Goodwood Motor Racing Revival Meeting; I remember so well growing up in the sixties and watching racing cars from that era on television.

2. Hide & seek; Blue Peter

3. The sea - more specifically, the entrance to Portsmouth Harbour

4. True love, dogs, and fly fishing

Morning all

1. My Mum still lives in the house we all grew up in so it would be going back home, simple
