Quite a bit of “ Lancs vYorks “ rivalry.
Lancashire—-“ Come in love, will you stop for a bit of tea with us?”
Yorkshire——“ Come in love ,you’ll have had your tea,won’t you”.
I don’t really mean that ,Yorkshire High Tea,whew,soooo much on the table, meats,cheeses,scones ,cakes ,a real feast and home made too.
However,I do not like Wensleydale cheese !
lThe Yorkshire custom of having Yorkshire Pudding with gravy before the meat and veges is said to be so people eat less meat —-.
Yorkshire people are thrifty,nowt wrong with that,we could do with more
thrift.
A beautiful county, on our way down South last Christmas there was a big diversion and we saw such amazing countryside ,including the field where people in white boiler suits lay down on the hillside to form the words
“ SEE YA COMPO” when Bill Owen died and so then of course did Compo in the amazing comedy, “ Last of the Summer Wine”.
Compo’s funeral cortège passed that way .
Well I am awake and can’t get back to sleep.
Had a chat with a cousin yesterday evening ,who gave me a reference and I found a photograph on a site,of my mother’s sister as a young girl then another as a married woman with her little boy.
I have never seen them before ,she looks like my Mum.
Sent them to my sister who isn’t really interested .
Well ,must put out the bedside lamp and try to sleep.
Viktoria.
