Hi Pita nice to know you, :)

Everyones having chocolate for supper but I,m not sure about adding chocolate to scrambled eggs Sticki....is ita new trend?

having to cook now, he changed his mind.
no more chocolate

I was really good,and had Tuna and cottage cheese salad,with a Jacket potato...lost my Halo now,and just had a mini Magnum..note I said Mini ! could have eaten two actually .:o))

Hi Pita and welcome I'm off to look at your photos , BTW I've only been able to make a decent Yorkshire pud since having you Dads recipe .. LOL.........

Sorry, Only just come on. Pleased you have made it clear Yorks. You have a lovely daughter, and her photos are amazing.

I agree..Pita is a natural at Photography..wonderful pics ,Yorkshire...glad you let us all know about your daughter :o)

Oh thats lovely Yorkie, thanks for the tip, off to have a look....

Well well, fancy that ! :o)

Had a look Yorkie, they are smashing photo's, wish I could get shots like that....

Just going to meet your lovely daughter thanks for the tip off Yorks :o)

Hi Yorkshire Well i met your daughter Peti I can see why you are so proud of her, in 5mins I had added to my favs a number of her lovely pictures!! now off to read her blogs so glad she decided to join you on GOY :o)

Hi Yorks. delighted to meet your daughter on here and yes her photos are incredible, a very clever young lady.

thank you so much, I thought some would be upset if I had my daughter on here, but then thinking you are a great lot and I knew none of you would mind, your comments about her and her pictures are fantastic,

Why should anyone be upset,Yorkshire? ..Anyone and everyone is entitled to join...plus she can keep you in order ..and vice versa !Lol...I think a number of her lovely pics could be this years entry for Countryfile Calendar..I love the Damsel fly ones .:o)

Why should anyone be upset at your daughter joining. Oliveoil's daughter joined didn't she ? Bikerbob's wife joined, and Bulbaholic/Moongrower are husband and wife .... and anyway it isn't anyone's buiseness is it ? Anybody in the world can join.

And if it bother's anyone, then that's their problem ... and they'd better come to terms with it ....

I did not know about all these others Hywel, and thank you for your reply, I do agree with what you say, xx

thank you Bloomer, your very kind also, yes I have been thinking about the country file Calendar also, I love the damsel fly one as well, she really is good at photography, took some nice one's of my 65th last year,

Oliveoli's daughter is Karensusan. I thought everyone knew that.
Bikerbob's wife is Cmsue (Hope I've spelt it right lol)
I thought everyone knew that too :o)

I agree Hywel, lovely happy goy family

'We are the ovaltineys, happy girls and boys'............well something like that anyway, was trying to say, like Pam. and everyone on here, that we are a great crowd and are like a family and give each other support when needed.

sorry Hywel I did not know that, I agree with you also Pam about a happy family, Grandmage you are so right with what you say, I like that, the ovaltineys, nice way of putting things,

Does anyone remember that advert I wonder!!! x

I remember it

I have no idea about it but hey!

Thank you everyone - I feel very loved! Happy days!!! :D

virtual hugs for all..... ((((((((((((((((((( ))))))))))))))))))

You can fight over the kisses xxxxxxxxxxx hee hee

your only a baby you would never remember the Ovaltineys,

I'm going to look it up on Google!

its a very old advert, see you tomorow, xxx

I remember the Ovaltiney's ad and now I,m driving myself mad cos can't remember all the words and its going round and round in my head, thank`s you lot, lol...

Thanks for the Ovaltiney's troops ! It's started in my head like yours, Lincs .
It used to be on Radio Luxembourg during Dan Dare , I think . There was also an irritating man who used to spell out Kaynsham K-A-Y-N-S-H-A-M , it was something to do with the football pools .
Pita , hello , hope that you'll enjoy GOY .

Thats it Driad, little transistor radio on in bed 11pm Sunday`s on Luxembourg to listen to the top twenty, hiding it undercover so as not to disturb the parents and younger kids, no earplugs in those days, lol...Adverts annoying if they cut off a record....

AHHHH!! thats who the special person is eh !! Mystery solved, Happy Days indeed.

Hello Driad - nice to meet you!

Is this the Ovaltiney's song? Follow link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EQ11Ob-d4A

Now sing along people...... altogether now......GO!
"We arethe Ovaltineys, little girls and boys
Make your requests, we'll not refuse you
We are here just to amuse you
Would you like a song or story?
Will you share our joys?
At games and sports we're more than keen
No merrier children could be seen
Because we all drink Ovaltine
We're happy girls and boys."

I have NO idea if that's right - but seemed fun! ha ha
:D x

Yes, showing my age, but thats the right words Pita.

Phew! it's a catchy little number! hee hee

Was it an advert for Ovaltine? (probably a stupid question but I actually don't know!)

:S

I think it is lovely to have your daughter on here, and I will be popping over to see her pics, and yes I remember Radio Luxembourg listening under the sheets, so parents wouldn't hear, and that annoying man spelling out Keynsham, happy memories.....know all the words to the Ovaltine song....how sad is that?

Me too DD. Yes Pita it was a commercial for Ovaltine.

Do you know I`ve gone full circle, from a kid to hiding my radio under the covers, now I'm a nighthawk who wears earphones so as not to disturb my daughter if watching telly in the early hours, lol...

Found this on wikepedia:
''Keynsham rose to fame in the mid-1960s after featuring in a long-running series of advertisements on Radio Luxembourg for Horace Batchelor's Infra-draw betting system.To obtain the system, listeners had to write to Batchelor's Keynsham post office box, and Keynsham was always painstakingly spelled out on-air, with Batchelor famously intoning "Keynsham – spelt K-E-Y-N-S-H-A-M – Keynsham, Bristol". This was done because the proper pronunciation of Keynsham – "Cane-sham" – does not make the spelling of Keynsham immediately obvious to the radio listener'' Lol.

well I am sorry but I am a loss with you lot now, Daughter of mine stop pretending your an OAP, and where did you get the words for the Ovaltine from. G/M do you mind if I go lay down for a few minutes, I really am at a loss, thought it was bad enough when me and Sticki started but your beating us,

ha ha ha - I'm practising for when I retire!
(I have no idea what they've all be on about - just thought it would be fun to join in!!)

:D xx

you'll get used to it, they start off on one thing and end up on something completely different, surprised they have not started with food yet on here,

Going off on a tangent its called!!!! Lol. We were saying did we remember a man on the radio who was always spelling out the name of Keynsham!!! It was to do with the football pools I think!!!!???? Yorks. you up yet?

no still sleeping, I'm going to ask my OH about this fellow your on about,no he never heard of it either,

Ok then Girls, what's for supper then?!
Pita, thought you'd like to know that I returned safely (without getting lost) from Bristol!

Yay! Welcome back Lulu! I was wondering if you'd return! lol x

I am being begged by my husband to go racing with him at Newbury tomorrow...My wardrobe has ended up on my bed. I am going for the Bohemian, layered look. Fresh Tuna was for supper but Hubby, David, has had to go to a band practice after being housebound waiting on the mare to foal..
So far I have eaten parmesan on ryvita..!

Hi , Lulu , sounding well , there . Hope that you enjoyed Newbury and weren't rained out . It's time that the Bohemian look came back into fashion , it's an interesting look .
Well researched , Grandmage , it's strange the things that we remember ; it was the Ovaltinies that brought Kaynsham back !
Yorkshire and Links , I'm still in trouble with listening to the radio , OH does not like the music that I do . I used to have such rows with my Dad over "pop " music .

Hi Driad, you started all this Keynsham chat. Lol!!!!

..))))) !

Newbury was fab! Bohemian look looked chic and out of place when I was invited to the royal box!! Sunny day and the studs horse came 3rd!

Royal box.!!......greetings ma.am......

Get you Lou!!!! (bow,scrape!)

did not know they had a royal box at newbury, I know they have private one's for venues, gosh I lived there for long enough, we used to go to all the meetings there,

It's the main box, and very elegant. I suppose called the royal bow because the queen was in it yesterday, innit!

No queenly chat with her. I noticed she has soft powdery cheeks!

thats great val, must welcome her aboard :o)) x

thanks San

Yorkie, check out map blog check in!
