The Trades holidays. Lots of people (including me) in the Pans still refer to the start of the school holidays as that. Funny too, even those who can choose any time during the summer to go away, still go the first two weeks, rain hail or shine.
I remember us going away to the caravan with just enough money to last us for the week, as John didn't get paid holidays then.We dug up all the vegetables from the garden, I'd saved up loads of tins,made lots of jam (fruit from the garden), the grannies gave the bairns loads of pocket money and we were off! Happy days!
Despite all the hype I still feel a bit sad about Michael Jackson.What a sweet child he was and his voice was lovely.
Helen came up and planted my hebes, so the garden is looking nice.
Jean and I are going out for tea tonight, so I'm off to review my wardrobe!!
