  • RS that made me laugh - at least one series of Police Interceptors has featured our town! 😂😂

    Parma violet ice cream gets a firm 👎🏻🤢 from me I’m afraid. Could only have been a worse thought if it it had been lavender flavoured - I really don’t do floral flavours in food at all!

    I’m pretty sure we will have been on Crimewatch and various police programmes. I know we featured in the Mary Portas programmes where she tried to save the high streets….it didn’t work 😏
    SA I can imagine how popular you were when you were peeping through the window .
    Scottie…..it’s a good job you didn’t photobomb the murrrddddeeeerrrr scenes .
    Not too sure how today will pan out. I think we’re going over to ds house for a walk and tea at his. But first I need to get dressed. I had a bit of a bad night as I was having a couple of tummy issues which hopeful have sorted themselves now 🤞
    It’s funny how I’ll happily eat Parma violet and rose water flavoured food but can’t bring myself to taste lavender……

    Just remembered the programme was called The Guilty, The Prodigal was it’s working title. Stars were Michael Kitchen and Caroline Catz.

    I watched the Guilty on catch up during lockdown……luckily didn’t spot anyone peeping through windows.

    It won’t have been the version you watched. Just noticed there’s one on Netflix with the same title. The one I was talking about was filmed in 1992.

    I loved Taggart too…..
    We  did go to ds yesterday and walked the circuit around the canal and back through the park. It’s not a very long walk but quite pretty in places…..less so in others 😏 He’d cooked a lovely lasagne so a nice afternoon. 
    Today is tidying up and packing the van ready for our trip tomorrow 😁
