Teachers are doing this all the time but it is a learnt skill not usually a natural response.

Our education system does teach young people to read and understand. She could just look up what an ISA is.

I'll never forget our sun worshipping neighbour leaning over the hedge to tell my father that Spain wasn't what it was since Franco had died!

Potentially Morecambe Bay has the part of the infrastructure already in place on the due to be decommissioned Heysham Power station site.

A view of our little Yorkshire garden with washing on the line. There was a frost overnight which is melting into the air on this fine, blue sky morning.

The yew hedge is 'steaming' in our little Yorkshire garden.

If you can find a copy of the wonderful Jane Grigson's Vegetable Book, she has a whole section on them.

We have them in the garden. They are fine, majestic plants with beautiful large, shaggy dusty-green leaves and the tiny 'pursed lipped' cardoons.

You wouldn't want those deep pile ones then would you?

But where would the towels fit in?

Try the South Lakes around Cartmel and Stavely or Serantine Woods above Kendal.

Thirty years ago that would have been polished daily.

Little Toller has some interesting books out or are you looking for something more scientific?

I can remember wandering the streets but nothing about the gig itself.

And I was in trouble with the Transport Police because I lost my Railcard between buying the train ticket and the inspector on the train. I was threatened with a criminal record which would have been tricky to explain in later life!

It should read ineligible I'm sure. Probably predictive text.

Just less than 3p if my celluloid LSD to decimal currency conversion wheel is correct!

Re the flea treatment. Our neighbour is trying coconut oil. His dog is called Boris and the poor cat is Winston! I'll report back!

I'm waiting too. Sadly I've grown yellow panies underneath overwinter and they have been fabulous. I'll pull them out before Angelique flowers.

Mr C went last week and I hope to get to see it in March. Very much looking forward to especially seeing the cut paper houses.

That was on my list to view too but unfortunately I'll miss it, along with the BL Medieval Manuscripts and the NT's Ballet Shoes โ˜น๏ธ.
