I'd say this is perfect, and in the right place for someone who maybe needs to see it.
Good call, Fesshole.

Butter and jam, eat with a glass of milk chaser.

Too sloppy!
The pease pudding idea is better.

I have had it sliced in a butty with mayo, but not recently. Hot fried pease pudding slice sounds amazing! I'd probably season it with salt and pepper, and maybe add Encona hot sauce and/or tartare sauce.

A Courtenaye flag flying from a half-timbered house. There are flowers in pots. The flag is yellow (or), with 3 red balls and a blue line across the top.

It's banner time in Tewkesbury! Courtenaye this year.

Perfect combination of wholesome and slightly dark.

Robin Hood dressed in medieval clothes is chased across the tiled floor of Tewkesbury Abbey by a very unscary bear as the vicar and others watch, laughing. A man in a flowery straw hat is playing pipe and tabor as accompaniment.

My favourite photo of this year: Exit, pursued by a bear.

I'm Robin Hood. Venue is Tewkesbury Abbey.

I loved this documentary. Now I am Old, I can see that Penelope Keith was attractive - and all of the subtle stuff I missed when I watched it in the 70s(?)
Barbara is gorgeous, but quite the doormat.

You plant potatoes when The Master's body is on the ground.
Also it's a generally good time for planting seed potatoes.

Dairies sell pies.
NZ, I discovered in my recent travels, runs on pies.

That is heartbreaking. I hear you. Sending an e-hug, if you do hugs.

Love it, except Ridcully's hair!
The rest is faultless.

Make 'em fresh, with buttermilk to bind. Do not knead at all. Handle *delicately*. Eat whilst still warm. Apart from my Granny's, the best scones I've eaten are from the (upper class, despite the name) Soup Kitchen tea shop in Stafford.
As I am a philistine I love their glacΓ© cherry ones.

Fonmon Castle and excavation wishes you the same back (or, the 7th century says "Hiya!".)

Salt and vinegar is more a visceral experience than a flavour.

If a black cat crosses your path, count your blessings.
Buy the cat a drink and invite them on a road trip.
Commit petty crimes & gentle mischief with your new friend from coast to coast and let no one stand in your way, forever.

Can't be Beardsley, there's no huge wangers wobbling about. Maybe Mari has threatened to bite them?

I had to follow you to confirm that she is actually a chibi Mari Lwyd.
And lo, she is!
Well played.

Sylvia Plath quote that sums up how I feel. People are infinitely fascinating, but one or two can cause the sociable female trouble. Not exactly an 'awful tragedy' but a problem, nonetheless.

I consider it rude to gift a book that I have not read.
I also 'borrow'* books from friends who are not as into reading as I am.
*TWoC and return stealthily.
I'm only a little sorry.

Found, literally with the smoking gun? Please.
I've been uneasy about this since the news broke.
