Still waiting for rain.

Watering cans it is now.

Tomatoes, strawberries, runner beans, onions, carrots and gooseberries - all on a little patio!

Not stalking you Cynthia:-))) Just doing my morning round.

I got the nickname goosegog as a child because I was always picking and eating the gooseberries from the bushes in the garden.

Hi Cathy

No welsh blood that I know of but glad I'm not so unusual.

Rhubarb Michael? Loverly.

Or perhaps blackberries and blackcurrants are more to your liking. Yuk!

Yes love blackcurrants.
Goosegogs in our neck of the woods always meant goosepimples.

Well I was living on Norfolk/Suffolk borders at the time so obviously it is a fairly widespread name.

My sister was born whilst we were up there and she was called a Norfolk dumpling:-)))

People from Wigan are Pie Eaters and those born in Leigh, Lancashire are referred to as "Lobby-gobblers"

Lobby = dish made from corned beef and vegetables

SylviaInCanada

SylviaInCanada Report 11 Jul 2010 01:05

hmmmmmmm


lobby sounds as if I might like it!


is it corned beef from a can (ie, Fray Bentos) or real corned beef?


There is a supposedly Irish dish that is often served on this side of the Pond, corned beef with cabbage, and that is made with real beef treated in a certain way.
