I certainly enjoyed last night's TV, dramatic or what?! being torpedoed? doesn't bear thinking about! can't wait for tonights conclusion. I must say I don't like Olives at all, and, like you Jane, Broad Beans are a definite No! No! I find that the smell of certain flowers can suddenly give a whiff of the past! have to be careful, though, can bring on the tears if you're not watching out, need to be FIRM with yourself if you are me!! tell you one thing to eat that I really HATE, Smoked Haddock, with a poached egg on top!! My parents LOVED it, but me, I managed to get away with not having the egg, but still had to eat the Haddock which I could just about stand! Yuk, not something we have in this house!!!! |

was it 4711 that came in a turn up stick thing that you rubbed on your wrists and forehead.I remember that smell from Nana.It was a lovely smell ,and I think it felt cold when you rubbed it on. |

Childhood smells ....Granmothers 4711 perfume,Lavender bags in her drawers lol .....not that sort of drawers !!! the old Parafin stove with the top bit that turned and made patterns on the ceiling , and those little tins of quickies that you could rub over your face and they cooled you down. |

I loved the smell of the washing in Mums Twin Tub.The smell of the Omo and the smell of the hot rubber ring thing that pressed the washing down in the spinner and the hot rubber pipe that drained the water .I know I have said before but I do love the smell of rubber........................in an innocent way (just before Frank makes a comment ) lolol.Give me a hot water bottle or an old fashioned swimming cap and I would be in heaven lol..I think the smell just takes me back to my childhood.They were the nice smells |

We like the Green ones best Mandy.They do have a weird taste .A bit like Marmite either love or hate lol.Yes a kind of bitter taste ,but not really bitter just different.I don't know how to describe it. |

David ,I did the same thing with my washing in the bath lol.Just after we married and couldn't afford a washing machine.I remember how heavy it all was to try and squeeze the water out,and heave it all out over the side of the bath,and then lump it downstairs out to the garden to reach up and get it over the line.Didn't have a mangle to get rid of the excess water lol.That would have been really helpful. |

Jane cut the crackling off the meat and a little of the fat. Put it on another baking sheet and sprinkle the bottom with some salt and turn it over and do the same. Bung back in the oven and let it cook with your pots. |
