I shall now be going around, for the rest of the week, thinking of all the things I've forgotten.
Excellent list. Hmm, I shall have a go at compiling my own. Starting with... No.1: The pig in all its forms.
ReplyDeleteHaving just eaten a bacon sandwich, I'm already regretting that I didn't add that myself.
DeleteWell you did include pork pies.
DeleteScotch eggs?
ReplyDeleteMy follow-up list will have to be Cro's Top 100. I've missed too much.
DeleteLady M knows about no 26, does she? ;-)
ReplyDeleteShhhhh.
DeleteI note hat while you rave about the wifes pies, your grandchildren home and village...at no point do you rave about your wife. How typically husbandy of you lol.
ReplyDeleteLady M is on a much higher level; it would be unfair to even think of classifying her!
DeleteDo I get a reprieve?
DeleteGood answer Cro. I mean about Lady M being on a much higher level.
DeleteNice save.
DeleteOooh, you are smooth!
Deleteit's a given that she ranks number one on the list -- goes without saying.
DeleteYou've made me think Cro. I'll see if I can name just 30.... It may take me a while to sort it out.
ReplyDeleteHA! I noticed that, too, Delores.
ReplyDeleteCro, it seems that meat earns several mentions on your list. I guess that means you must be a member of PETA, like my hubby and me. That's People Eating Tasty Animals.
I have toyed with veggie-ism during my life, but I'm just having to accept that I'm a true carnivore, through and through!
DeleteAbout half of those would be on my list! Chicken, meat, fresh eggs, etc! Good list Cro.
ReplyDeleteHooray for arising with no aches or pains. Makes the other 29 more enjoyable.
ReplyDeleteA list you can be proud of...
ReplyDeleteSmashing list....set me to wondering about one of my own......
ReplyDeleteAll lovely simple things Cro.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I notice Patchouli on the list, were you a hippy in the past by any chance.
I love the smell of Patchouli it reminds me of my youth.

I would never have called myself a 'hippy', but people do occasionally now refer to me as an ageing one.
Deletegoodness ...now you've gone and got us all thinking!!!...where shall I start?.....
ReplyDeleteI am surprised that a pretty girl would allow you to kiss her, unless of course she was feeling sorry for you :)
ReplyDeleteOr I took her by surprise!
