Philippa,
We used to have a small cottage on a farm for holidays (it had been my grandparents home) and I used to go with a pitcher to get fresh milk from the farm. I remember watching the farmer sitting on a stool milking the cows into a metal bucket (no milking machines) and he used to point one of their teats at me and skoosh me and it was warm. :D :D :D
He used to just fill my pitcher straight from the bucket and I'd take it down the road but I wouldn't drink it because I only liked the milk we got delivered at home. I never wondered how I was still drinking the milk from home even though we'd been at the cottage for weeks. :)Years later of course I found out mum used to fill the glass milk bottle from the pitcher and pretend it was the milkman's milk :D :D
Dot

Hi dot, your post reminded me of my all time favourite programme which was "The Good Life" At the time it was on originally ( its still on Sky now) I would have done ANYTHING (legal) to have lived like that. As I am adopted, I dont know much about my background, but I loved the idea so much, Im sure there must be farming in there somewhere;)
I bet you had such a happy childhood in that cottage

Quatermass - it used to petrify me.
Day of the Trifids - a film about giant plants.
The first x-rated film I ever saw - The Gorgon.
Take Your Pick
In Town Tonight
Five o clock Club
Have we had Rag, Tag and Bobtail
All time favourite has to be The Woodentops. Ohhh Spotty Dog, probably responsible for my life long love of dogs

Does anybody remember BOD? You know "here comes Bod"

A;i ....driving to Sheffield the other day we were stuck brhind a car and its reg was ***BOD ,,,I began whistling Bods music and Stephen hadn't got a clue what I was on about :D

I used to watch Bod with my older children (thats my excuse and I am sticking to it!) Aunt Flo was another good one from that series ...

Melody

I used to love Bod!!!

Does anyone remember a spin off from Bod (I think) called (Something) Marvelous Milkshake? Or am I just imagining it?

Dot, did you know Donny is touring the UK in March?
LynnT

Lynn T,
No I didn't know. He's actually wearing well ;) ;)
Never did get to see them in concert.
Dot

Phillipa I am 1000percent certain it was not JBJ.
I am not 100percent certain it was Reday STeady Go though <G>
Who remembers Belle and Sebastian?
Does anyone remember a kids series based in the Channel Isles during the occupation which had a clown character as one of the central roles? It really annoys Richard that he cannot remember the name and I (of course) am too young to remember <VBG>

Philippa,
I had a great time on the farm. I loved it. We used to go for weekends and holidays. My grandparents had worked on the farm and when they died the farmer rented it to us for about £24 a year (late 60's/70's). Used to get up at 5.30am, no bother, just to help out. Used to bottle feed the orphan lambs, hand feed and PET bullocks/cows (always loved them ever since :)). Dare I say it - hunt rabbits. Even got to drive tractors at 13!! We had no phone,tv,fridge,washing machine,heating. Just a coal fire. Plenty mice. (Was scared sleeping upstairs at night. It was a dark room and you could hear noises. I always thought there was ghosts so I'd hide under the blankets :) (no duvets - old sheets,blankets and quilt :))
Oh, I would love to live there nowadays but with a few home comforts. Ah, nostalgia :) :)
Dot

P.S. Funny, I'm adopted too :)

Dot, that sounds so lovely. What a wonderful way to spend childhood. What a coincidnece you being adopted too. To make it even stranger , my other half, Steve is also adopted :D

me too Sis...now that IS weird.

Hi sam, Yes, youre right, that really IS weird!!!!!!

I am too- although not in the same way as you lot- it is my birth Mum just not my Dad but because she'd already married him by the time he was legally adopting me- my surname was McCallum and theirs Richardson- they both had to adopt me by law:rolleyes: This is quite funny really since I think it's quite a lot on here to say how uncommon it is:)

Stacey x x x

Hi Stacey
Snap!
My mum had already married my step-father so both had to adopt me. I was nearly 6 and I remember going to court and everything. :)
Nicky

Nicky- I find it even more of a coincidence then that you have exactly the same circumstances as me- sorry can't think how else to put it:) It seems quite a few of us are adopted to be in one place- like I said I always think of it as pretty uncommon;)

Stacey x x x

Hi Stacey
We must be an elite group eh? ;)
Nicky
