I remember an old character with country dialect and a grating voice [?]<br />About that time CBC also had a feature with dialect songs from the UK--all this time and I remember a bit of a refrain: something about the wind in the 'Wurrzle bush'--or maybe it was the rain!Morning's Minionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912356455981434029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-42904910232152493272011-01-05T04:21:07.704-08:002011-01-05T04:21:07.704-08:00Happy New Year to you lovely friend.

I mucked out 3 horses until I was 8 months pregnant with middle daughter, but I don't think I would have been out walking half the day - the bump gets in the way!<br /><br />SouthernHeart - Happy New Year to you. I must knit a few more dishclothes, though only being able to get white or ugly multi-coloured cotton yarn isn't too encouraging! I nearly threw the crochet sample-piece on the fire yesterday, it was driving me wild, but I will persevere and then probably unravel it and try another design.Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-69119191736687696582011-01-03T21:02:59.606-08:002011-01-03T21:02:59.606-08:00Wow...what a stunning photo!

I'm trying to get myself motivated enough to actually accomplish something but, thus far, have only found slow gear! I did buy some thread today to knit a few more dishcloths and I signed up for my second knitting and crochet...so I guess that's a little progress. ;-)SouthernHearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07570700924252634215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-88607505494267056422011-01-03T14:23:46.270-08:002011-01-03T14:23:46.270-08:00Poor Nigel eh?

Number one would be PIP who is meant to be a teenager but has the whiny voice of a child and she can't 'act' either.<br />Helen's character irritates me too. I love all the others. I thought the Nigel/David scene was far-fetched and also the Helen story - the swollen ankles not understood by Helen who had read every book on pregnancy, she would have been very worried much sooner. Poor show I thought after all the build-up.Cait O'Connorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04569760764766505179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-64793154691112085372011-01-03T11:44:59.526-08:002011-01-03T11:44:59.526-08:00WoG - Heard tonight's Archers and yes, he IS d...WoG - Heard tonight's Archers and yes, he IS dead.

Wonder what Nigel will turn up in now then? As for Sing Something Simple, I find that I have total recall on SO many songs from the past, including many from the 1930s.

I remember it well. There were many songs from the days of WWII and also from the years between the wars. So, it was a time of reminiscence for our parents, and for their children, a link with popular music from the years before we were born.<br /><br />Re: The Archers - some of it was rather far fetched I thought. I just cannot imagine a sensible ( if rather dull) farmer like David Archer, going out onto a slippery, high roof on a frosty night. I wonder if Nigel will survive in a very disabled way? As for the obstetric story line.......there may still be tears from this one. Mothers can die from Pre Eclampsia after they have given birth. Ah well, I suppose it is only a story.......!Dartford Warblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04352965211143836326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-40363806315921896082011-01-03T07:05:26.003-08:002011-01-03T07:05:26.003-08:00Love the header BB.

Glad to see you are havin...Hi BB Happy New Year. <br /><br />Glad to see you are having a go at the crotchet again; sounds as though it is a very pretty motif you are working.<br /><br />I remember the programme Sing Something Simple well. We either had it on at home and all had a sing song (not that we were that good at it) or would be coming home from my grandparents home in Lincoln and we would have a family sing song. It was a very good programme. Same as Sunday Dinner Radio Programme that played requests and reunited service personnel with loved ones at home the name of the programme is eluding me at the moment. Hah got it Family Favourites! I am sorry for the youngsters that missed out on these radio programmes they were brill. And thank you for bringing the memory back clear and sharp in my conscious mind.<br /><br />As a child I listened to the Archers, but sort of lost touch years ago. Then there was Mrs Dale's diary. My first Ginger Tom cat was named Captain after her cat.<br /><br />Happy Days<br /><br />Take Care<br /><br />Tricia (aka pattypan)<br /><br />xxPattypanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10533048669555871726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-2230129573094593322011-01-03T03:09:03.398-08:002011-01-03T03:09:03.398-08:00I remember the signature tune to Sing Something Si...I remember the signature tune to Sing Something Simple but I rarely actually listened to it. I remember the signature tune to In Town Tonight as well but I never heard that because it signalled my bedtime! As for The Archers I'm afraid I've never been a fan, I used to listen to Mrs Dale's Diary though, do you remember that?
