Christmas Cheer


Where would Christmas be without at least one comedy vegetable moment? And with the sad demise of That's Life! (a 1970s to 1990s Sunday night TV show where they were a key feature) it falls upon me to bring it to you this year, freshly picked from the allotment and in its prime ;)

And if that wasn't enough, today's the winter solstice so the days get lighter from now on - huzzah!

  1. LOL, how rude!

    I used to enjoy That's Life too, especially Cyril's stories.

    Occasionally see Ester on TV, and Paul Hine does Watch Dog reports, but I wonder about the others (although I think Cyril passed away?)

    TV is not what it used to be!

  4. Ha ha! Nothing like a rude veg to cheer the long winter nights.

    Can't wait to use my extra minute or two of light tomorrow!

  5. Hi VP, Leave it to veggies to add a note of comedy to a cold day! I googled the show and I have to say, I think we missed out on a real treat!
    Happy Solstice Day!

  13. I gather that's a parsnip. I don't eat them & now I don't want to!

  14. Zoe - sadly Cyril Fletcher passed away a while ago. I loved his odd odes and newspaper howlers too.

    Frances - I think we'll all be glad of the lighter days

    Joy - I think you mean the Ood? I'll make sure I include that when I do a YAWA post about parsnips

    HM - glad you like it!

    Gail - you did, it was very entertaining.

    Susan - I did wonder about putting a warning up!

    Petoskystone - I've answered this on a later post. If anyone else is having similar problems, do let me know

    Victoria - that's very good. Just the kind of thing NAH would come up with!

    Anna - yes, I'm glad too

    PG - yes, I thought we needed cheering up!

    EG - it was yummy despite its appearance!

    Flighty - Ohhhh yes it is! xx

    Deb - well, yes it is really ;)

    Garden Bloggers - welcome and glad you liked it!

    MMD - you've made me realise this is an unfamiliar veggie across the pond. Must do a YAWA post. And they're absolutely delicious despite the appearance of this one!
