At Much Binding in the Marsh
Our aerodrome defence is quite inspiring,
At Much Binding in the Marsh
We feel as safe as houses when they're firing.
Our A.A. Bofors gunner is a man who never cowers,
Last Tuesday week he got the chance to demonstrate his powers,
He shot one Jerry aircraft down and eighty two of ours
At Much Binding in the Marsh

[woofgang]

I forgot much binding, another favourite of mine, also the Billy Cotton Band show and of course Kenneth Horne and the Gang. Shughy has just had a sneezing fit and the wind is howling again. I am waiting for Shughy to go to sleep and for Heathcliffe to come bursting through the curtains.

Good morning, lovely day outside. Think cold has gone although still coughing but not as much.

Lottie, I have thwacked you on the farm cos you had to have the last word, didn'tya? But thanks for cleaning it all up!

[Robinia]

Morning pop pickers... after a wild night weather's finally calmed down.
Did you see the spectacular sky this morning? Hope it wasn't a shepherd's warning...or shaney's bacon butties on fire :o)

Must get to the shops or it'll be chs on shortbread for my lunch break...

[LoftyLottie]

forty years, tch, the 1970s have much to answer for. I know a couple of couples with 40ths coming up; I remember one of the weddings but not the other (having overdone the champagne on that occasion). I felt vaguely guilty about not having a proper wedding myself so we could return the hospitality - but their parents could afford it and ours couldn't.

[LoftyLottie]

We didn't have a 'proper' wedding jno. Monday morning at a registry office and a few drinks and nibbles afterwards. No photographer, no fancy cars, no nothing. It looks very much as if LL jnr and gf will go down the same route, which is great because I won't have to dress up and feel dreadful.

And yes, most of are old friends have approached or are approaching the 40 year mark, and thinking about it we all had 'improper' weddings. Bling and spending loads of money didn't feature much back in the 70's from what I remember.

[Jude123]

I got married in the Registry Office and had my Reception at home done by my Mum and Me. We lived in quite a large house in those days so had a good buffet and a large garden for some photos.
I still go past that house and have a few thoughts go through my mind. One is of my Dad sitting in a chair which his pipe in his hand, in the front garden watching the Derby Carnival Procession going past to the park.
Off to the dentist soon. Have a good day all. See yer later 'gater(s)

[Jude123]

Here's my Dad on the chair on Carnival Day. I still have that chair. It came from India with my Great Grandad and Grandma as he was in the Army for 23 years and served in India a very long time. I have all his Army records.

[Jude123]

I should say copies of his records sorry..

[netibiza]

Reg office here (well In Sutton, South London) too. Sister did a buffet at in-laws house. F-i-law drove usin his Rover via the florist to collect my bouquet of anemones. All very understated. We had to travel on a ferry overnight to Barça, then a day's wait for the bus to Victoria via some french ferry, took ages and was very smelly, the bus not me (I used those paper throw away knickers)-. Same coming back except my older sister and another friend travelled with us on the bus and we all shared a cabin on the ferry back to Ibiza, so they came on our honeymoon I suppose. Great days and memories.

[netibiza]

Oh jude, how lovely. Do you know that those fold up chairs are all the rage for the beaches over here, very modern!

[jno]

just realised my own seventh anniversary was yesterday, but I didn't even get a pork pie from the Ed.

We got married in the registry office too, but no reception afterwards, it was just immediate family and one or two friends, only about eight people including us.

Jude, I was wondering what was holding your dad up until I made out the back legs of that chair.

[netibiza]

Just family and a couple of friends at ours too.
