My Grandad was very fussy when he was a boy. He grew up in east London during the blitz and as you know, all food was rationed. His mother used to give him Rubarb, he hated it so he flicked it off his plate and onto the white table cloth (it stained). He still hates rubarb to this day.
I’m surprised he was allowed to be fussy during the war. There wasn’t much choice available. You ate what you got given.
Looks delicious!Baking, baked and ready to rise

This has been christened pizza roll by the family. Bread dough rolled into a square, toppings of choice (in this case softened onion, sliced mushrooms, ham, cheese and mixed herbs), rolled up like a Swiss roll then left to rise before baking in a hot oven for 20 minutes. I make the pizza dough recipe in my bread maker with 50-50 white and wholemeal bread flour.
It’s handy instead of sandwiches for days out
Some good memories of my time spent in Harrogate.

You’ll have to tell me that one, I wasn’t a CDR inhabitant at that point
Is that the stage show? It's fantastic! The music and costumes are brilliant.
Fond memories for me of Harrogate too [emoji4] Did we coincide? I was there 1975-1986.
Do you remember the power stations at Ferrybridge alongside the A1 near Wetherby? They were always the sign that I was nearly home. Two of the stations have already bern demolished. They demolished the first of the cooling towers at the third station a few days ago. The rest will go soon.

There is a new film out which uses motion capture to create the animals. I know the one you mean, I saw it at a theatre in London. They had opera glasses so I bought a pair for the sake off it
Poor old Yorkshire's been badly hit by floods this week. An old bridge collapsed and several homes and businesses hit.
It certainly has. The area worst affected is further north than Harrogate. I used to to kayaking up there a lot.

It's completely different to our system, they finish sooner.

He should be. But that's a scary thing to read.
I don't have any recent digital ones as I don't have a digital camera at the moment - but I'll find some old ones for you.What does he weigh now? Have you got any pics of him, I’ve only seen the one in your profile pic
He's due for a weigh-in after his next poop but he's eating really well at the moment.
I was in that neck of the woods 1990-1995. Lots of memories. Lots of pints of real ale and cider and Wensleydale cheese.
I got married in Harrogate in 1990 and my Mum moved away in 1998 so we did sort of coincide [emoji4] We went to Menwith Hill for the bicentennial celebrations on July 4th 1976 at the invite of our neighbours. And I also helped out with the base Girl Scouts before I left home for university.
Here we are Ben
This was Lola the first summer I had him, I was clearing my shed and threw out this old pillow that I used for kneeling on when gardening. When I looked Lola had made himself comfortable on it in the sun. He certainly likes his creature comforts! Can you see his little stumpy leg?
This was about 3 years ago, he was enjoying taking a detour through his cat tunnel - he got stuck in it when he tried to turn around so he has a bigger kiddies play tunnel now .
Just chilling in the sun - also about 3 years ago.
