Hello Brit Brethren and Fellow Yanks,
It has been a while but I thought I would neglect my weekend work and send a couple of posts.
I mentioned earlier I might not be around so much this time because, as a family, we have so much going on. Between my job demands, assisting my wife with her senior year in college, and my sons' activities and homework, we are also beginning a slow moving process. I previously mentioned that the local gov. is taking over our property due to the installing of a new train line. The good news is, due to the fact that my whole family works around the Late-August to Mid-June school year, the county will let us stay here until the summer, so we won't be interrupted during this time.
I have not been able to watch Summer Wine lately, with the exception of the Incredible ordeal of Norman Clegg, which I saw on a rare day off. As a result, I am rusty with my Summer Wine knowledge, so bare with me if I post something but fail to have the recollection of the chronological order of episodes, etc.
Yesterday morning, I was buckling up my 4 year old in the car and across the street, an elderly man was walking by with a derby and a cane. My four year old asks, "Is that the guy from Summer Wine?" (referring to Foggy with a cane). That is pretty good for a Yank 4yr old during the post-Summer Wine era.
Although a few years back, (I think my older one was 3 1/2 years and we were taking my wife to a prenatal appointment, we saw a tall thin man with a hat and coat like Foggy's with a cane. He asked "If that Foggy?". His knowledge was pretty good because that was a time that I was watching more Summer Wine.
I will likely catch Summer Wine during my winter and spring breaks coming up. Summer is my time now to really watch it but this coming summer we will have the move and possibly the first family vacation in three years.
