Stewart prepared a special Easter Sunday dinner. The Lamb of God was on the menu with roasted potatoes, Yorkshire puddings, leeks, carrots, parsnips and peas. For dessert, Shirley had followed the vegan sticky toffee pudding recipe in the first "Bosh!" cook book  and all was good. Earlier there had been an Easter egg hunt for the little ones and then we all went off to a Sheffield museum that I had not visited in many years - The Emergency Services Museum at West Bar. Greatly improved and still run by volunteers, it was a perfect excursion for all of us and we finished up in the museum's little cafe enjoying a light lunch. We had seen police cars, ambulances, fire engines and even a redundant lifeboat called "City of Sheffield". We all enjoyed the visit. As you might imagine, I will be coming back to this museum in a future post. On the way there,  the roads had been blocked off near Sheffield Children's Hospital as 750 motorcyclists arrived at Weston P...

  They all went down to the park while I vacuumed the entire house, put a week's worth of washing on the line, mowed the lawn and prepared the evening meal. There was a meat chilli, vegan chilli, basmati rice, grated cheese  and soft wholemeal pitta breads. They were having fun while I slaved away. A man's work is never done. Ian is up from London with Zach and of course we had Stew, Frances, Phoebe and Margot round for the welcome home feast - followed by cream cakes and fresh fruit. Fortunately, Shirley helped out by setting the table. I was so grateful for her kind assistance. After all, I am sure you know how lazy some women can be around the home. After finishing my ironing and washing up the pots - or putting them in the dishwasher - I slumped down on the sofa. Cousins Margot and Zachary were playing on the carpet. Zach loves little cars and other tiny vehicles. Ambulances and police cars are particular favourites. On the other hand, Margot likes her dolls and shows...

Pudding Party  General Secretary  Grace Honeyman at the recent rally in Sheffield A new political party has just been launched in Great Britain. It has been under construction for several months but now the curtain has been flung back to reveal The Pudding Party. Surely this will be the answer to all the disenchantment with politics, to dismissive electors who refuse to vote or simply cannot be bothered, to dumb moaning minnies who grumble "They're all the same!", to Nigel Farage and the Nazi Party Reform Party, to Zack Polanski and The Eat-Your-Greens. Arise The Puddings! Your time has come... But every political party needs policies and The Pudding Party currently has just five headline policies to attract voters to our noble cause. 1) It will be the law that when it is your birthday you are entitled to an extra day off work or school. Retired people  will receive free bags of frozen Yorkshire puddings. 2) All vaping retail outlets will be shut down and vaping in...
