, hmm, please forgive my first very amateurish video attempt; explanation/clarification available if required 😁🌈x (the brown/white shape on the fence post was a buzzard) x
It’ll probably help if I mention that the two pics of a sunny open space within the heart of the woods is the relic of Puce Bush Farm. I’ll need to go back at the end and year when the luxuriant meadow has died back in order to see what is underneath. If anyone wants still photos please message me, regards Roseanne 😁🌈x

@Vic PattersonAh! It’s always sad to hear of an old friend’s passing, though the lady isn’t known to me. From your description your wife was a cornerstone in your family and your affection for her shines brightly in your description of her. Condolences for your great loss 😢🌈xx

@HIGH PIT WILMA❣️X a very good afternoon to you BigBill, I’m delighted to hear from you, Sir x. Thoroughly enjoyed your narrative of your journey from Hollymount square to Choppington High Pit, especially in the snow, and earning a pittance no doubt? Did you take your bait box, and what was your favourite? Please tell me more about LBJ? I suspect your lil dog but surely not named ferra US President? I’m puzzled 🤔 xx Yes of course, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, my favourite song depends on today’s mood and the weather- currently “Otherside” 🎼heard your voice through a photograph
I thought it up and brought up the past
Once you know you can never go back
I gotta take it on the other side🎶, reminds me a a lost love 💕. Tomorrow my favourite will be something else entirely. Your son has impeccable taste, obviously runs in the family 😁. Tell him I saw them live @ Coventry Stadium- WHAT A GREAT SHOW 🎶🤩😵💫!! Best regards RoseanneRainbow 😁🌈x -

Of course you’re right! I’m still navigating the corridors of this maze of information, as I get more familiar with the system it’ll get clearer I’m sure. That’s an excellent suggestion which I’ll act on tout de suite 🤗x

Aye @Canny lass , there’s a few known recipes in there given personalised names- I love the “half pay pudding “! definitely a sign of those times; up there with mock duck and mock fish? I remember Dad telling me about an earlier birthday party for him during the war years, discovering that the “pineapple chunks “ in the trifle were actually swede! The vegetable of course, not marinated Scandinavian person 🤣 😁xx. P.S. found a Geordie cookbook online at my usual World of books , it’s in the post. Couldn’t find Wor lass’s yem cooking, so barter books for that ( they’re often more pricey) xx

@Vic Patterson brilliant 🤩 xx I’ve been looking for an original recipe for Pan Haggerty ferra good while now, I’m sure that’ll be in one, if not all, of those books. I’m planning to ask Don Lynn’s ?son for a sheep’s head plus intestines and lights. Loving the Swedish chef ( @Canny lass!) recipe for the head, and keen to have a go at kokoretsi, cos it’s looking unlikely I’ll get back to Greece anytime soon. Many thanks 😁🌈x

Thank you very much, a grand day out to Alnwick is planned. I’ve also looked Merlin up, found info about him thanks xx
-
@Canny lass Merlin 🧙♂️?
-
Oh yes! And that’s and “must try” dish, thank you xx You refer to the Geordie Cookbook, is this your own collection or a publication out there somewhere, please? I’d love to peruse that, I’m the sad creature who can spend a couple of hours engrossed with a map or a cookbook 🌈x

I suspect those magic dinner ladies made the heavenly concoction up 😁🌈x that one is easily reproduced because the basic ingredients were so obvious. Years later seeing chicken pilaf on the menu in my first Indian restaurant I was transported with joy, and crestfallen when the dish that turned up didn’t have any tinned spaghetti but turned out to be a great favourite rice dish which I’ve enjoyed many times in the intervening years 😋🌈x

Aah, bless you, you’re keeping me right between yourself and @Alan Edgar (Eggy1948); I’m immensely grateful xx
-
@Canny lass thank you very much for these special recipes. I can’t wait to get some beef while I’m thisaffa and get going; all south scrumptious. I’ll report back on the results many thanks for your patience and kindness
😁🌈x

I suspect that they are members of this group, but only aware of one married name, sort of throwing out an open invitation for them to contact me while leaving them the option of choosing not to do so. Delicate subject 😁🌈x

@Kevin1956& @Alan Edgar (Eggy1948) I’m echoing Mr Eggy’s comments, dead interesting reading 😁, @Canny lasshas pointed me to the National Archives for more. What better to do on such a soggy day as it is here? A bowl of mutton pilaff, a full teapot and a rummage in historical documents, bliss! 😁🌈x

Morning very good Sir, I’m struggling with this communication tool again. I have seen somewhere in here an opportunity to contribute to the elves and goblins who maintain this Bedlington vehicle and now I’m able to pay my way I can’t find the ticket collector. Please advise where should I look 😁🌈x P.S. do you know/like Red Hot Chilli Peppers🎶?🌈
Hmm, just about to say thank you very much for your advice and found this unsent message . I’m puzzled, I’m sure you’ve already answered it but sending anyway. Regards Roseanne

Ooh thank you very much xxx. I’ve got an electric carving knife which gives me nice thin slices and does sterling work on soft fresh tiger bread, no wonky doorsteps anymore 😁x BUT the important thing is what is a proper beef olive stuffed with, please? I’ve found several options, including simple breadcrumbs, but haven’t managed to produce anything that resembles the yummy school dinner version. I’d be very grateful for your advice. Am I being greedy in asking about mutton pilaff? Was that simply tinned spaghetti and left over mutton baked together or something more elegant? 😁🌈x

@lilbill15 I can vouch for the authenticity of this text. I’ve seen the original (National Archives). It is, as you suggest, a transcript of the original. This is evident in the transcriber’s use of the Latin “sic” indicating that he/she has quoted the text verbatim to include even the author’s non-standard language use.
“and away to the south east firey (sic) heaps” (p8)
“Away from the old pit is what is what (sic) is very appropriately” (p8)
The article is one in a series, Our Colliery Villages, published in the Newcastle Weekly Chronicle 1872 onwards. There are a few transcripts floating about on the internet if you don't want to subscribe to the NA.
@Canny lassthanks, I’m delighted that you’ve confirmed this. I already use the National Archives (at your suggestion) am finding tons of stuff, thanks again. I’ll delve for the rest of these articles 😁xx

Ah! Thanks for this; is he @Kevin1956?, then? I’m ashamed to say that name rings absolutely no bells, except I suspect it was he who staggered off the Waltzer and threw up at the side? Yes? 😁🌈x
