I am so envious of you, getting to see Downton Abbey Season 5 a full four months before we in the US. Your pictures capture the essence of that place quite well!sandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17355232032181406759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1193495388714584422.post-21219477735994918742014-08-28T09:22:47.981+01:002014-08-28T09:22:47.981+01:00Beryl - That is hilarious!

My Grandmother always said the real rich would never eat out of season produce. (I know, sounds silly now, but you had to be there and hear her deliver her opinions - you would agree with her even if you had no idea where those ideas came. The one about not drinking water with meals because, among other things, it would make your fat get lumpy was one of my favorites.)Berylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08386043271411304736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1193495388714584422.post-23063979222871062252014-08-27T08:45:49.232+01:002014-08-27T08:45:49.232+01:00Beryl

There is something about chilled savory food in a chilly climate that doesn't work well for Bill. He's pretty choosy about when he'll eat salad even - only in a warm summer. I have given up fighting and have joined him, especially since growing our own lettuce and eating more seasonally.

It was one of my mother-in-law's specialties - she served it with shrimp.Berylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08386043271411304736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1193495388714584422.post-53033140649862463862014-08-26T17:35:58.153+01:002014-08-26T17:35:58.153+01:00GK - Well thank you, I think!

I don't retain a great deal of specifics, but my photos do remind me a lot of what to look up in the internet.
