.....then I'll begin. I'm probably showing my age but I remember sitting at my Mother's knee listening to Listen with Mother while she had a rest after dinner - as we called it then - not lunch as we call it now. This poster caught my eye in Cambridge today, and I thought that anyone sitting in this basket probably wouldn't be sitting very comfortably!
me too! And what a special time of day it was! I can still remember the tune at the beginning...or was it the end? - found it on one of Evelyn Glennie's albums a few years ago and what a big moment that was!
Ah Listen with Mother how old fashioned that sounds but I also remember it well. Radio was the thing then ...no TV of course. Love your row of bikes & the magnificent baskets which seem to be a feature of Cambridge bikes.
Oh I remember it very well - sitting on my grandmother's knee. She had severe arthritis and was in a wheelchair and there was always a bit of friction as my mum said she shouldn't put me on her knee and my grandma said she should. She died when I was 3 at most and I can't remember her face at all but I can remember sitting on her knee listening to that song about the birds sitting under the eaves in the freezing cold (something about a robin? - the woman was terribly posh). And I can very clearly remember the smell of beef stew and mash potato for dinner (lunch!) which my grandad would produce and the smell was incredible - I think he used to cook it for about three days! Great spot with the poster!
Lovely shot of a typical Cambridge scene! - and thank you for the reminder of Listen With Mother. It's something I hadn't thought about for a long time, but your reminder brought back great memories of childhood!
