But when we get out into the country it is a complete contrast. I agree with you about going on buses and seeing much more. Our kids are SO excited about going on the bus (top deck) and the views really do make a difference.<br /><br />Freshly podded peas .. nothing better.

And - yes, I do remember the "Sweet as the moment" jingle, at least I think I do. Or maybe I'm mixing it up with a record I had. <br /><br />I am not sure that super sized veg etc. necessarily taste worse than small ones. Most supermarkets buy veg that keep well and don't bruise and don't go off. Also they irradiate them, which I can't think improves the flavour.

I love your posts! You are such an observer of the smaller things others might just not see, such as the thatcher, the view from the bus and the bees. I suspect there is a nest there and how privileged to be able to see the comings and goings. As ever, you always manage to trigger a long forgotten memory.... yes, I remember when the peas went pop!LAC EMP 2020https://www.blogger.com/profile/01999825212820503519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266224907043302947.post-20368127303868877432012-06-25T23:49:02.951+01:002012-06-25T23:49:02.951+01:00I can't pod peas without that TV advert coming...I can't pod peas without that TV advert coming into my head! Peas really are a seasonal delight to be enjoyed along with broad beans.<br /><br />I thought the TV programme "The Men who made you fat" was very interesting. It is a pity they can't work out a way of tapping into people's psychology to reduce the portion sizes now. Thinking of larger vegetables, it is always the really fat pea pods that mean the peas are old and the taste is just not right. However, I have to say that my husband has a large car, courtesy of his company, and irritatingly he gets far better fuel consumption that I do with my little one!

The Chalice Gardens are lovely. <br />We have one car in our Family Toyota Corolla(1998) and our Family is big with not much money and no time :o) but we trying to be "Eco-friendly". But we use our car very offen to transporte our kids at school or to the hospital, and every time when we go to the farm for fresh milk & ect. I know, it would be more better live in the small town and have all those things closer to me, but sometimes we have no choice. Or may be I`m too urbanist? :o) Thank you, Jane for your post :o)<br />Have a nice rest of the weekend<br />love<br />NatashaNatalia Glazachevahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07051729726440906665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266224907043302947.post-63308985975717190932012-06-24T14:06:41.650+01:002012-06-24T14:06:41.650+01:00I hear you Jane.

They are rarely seen in shops like that these days but certainly remember them from my childhood. I had never heard that about the popcorn but can easily see the progression from there. Clever marketing but unless we wake up it will lead to our downfall - in the health stakes anyway!<br />I'll be interested to hear about the bees.<br />cheers<br />PS Those bus trips sound fantastic.

Being retired gives me the luxury of time to take things slower and to ponder over the special offers and bargain deals that we are bombarded with. As you say, not so easy for busy people working with a tight budget. <br />How pleasant to sit in the Chalice Garden, I spent a lovely hour or two there on a holiday some years ago now.

But feel incensed at the way in which we are manipulated . I KNOW we can say no, but as you say, when families have lots of children, not much money and no time, they go for the cheaper/easier/larger otion - of course they do! There is so much social engineering going on these days.<br />I use a very small car and drive at reasonable speeds - save s petrol, and cook mostly from scratch. But I'm no saint. And I'm finding already with all the extra family here at the moment some 'junk' is creeping in! Fortunately the children eat mostly ehat is put in front of them so we will also be having the 'good stuff' and normal portions!Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15385150635938870512noreply@blogger.com
