How
are ya tagether? Me n The Boy Dervud went wi the Wymondham
Born n Bred Club to an old fashioned picnic and a visit to
the Museum of Mechanical Music at Cotton near Stowmarket.
Fust
of orl we hetta git a picnic basket cos we dint hev one but
Dervud he managed ta find one that wuz orite. Then we hetta
look the part cos they were orl a dressun up ta look like
we were a gorn onna picnic...
I
managed ta git him a hat orf Norwich Market on the Saturday
an I come acrorse a bonnet from one a the gals at work durun
the week. Boy Dervud reckoned I looked like I wuz gorn ta
a Country n Western Dance – I told him ta be quiet.
WE HED A NICE BUS TRIP
We
orl met up in Wymondham on the Sundy and, as you can see from
the photo, we set orf in a 1959 Bus. Thut wuz a real treat.
We
stopped on the way at a little ow Church in Thornham Parva.
Thus still in regular use though the populeartion a adults
in the willage is ony fifty. Thut wuz a tiny little ow plearce.
Well wuth a look.

Arter
thut we headed orf ta the Picnic Site and Tearooms at Thornham
Magna. I dint even know the plearce existed. Thut was nice
an all. We opened our Picnic and our ow cheese sarnies went
down a treat with a cuppa tea.
There’s
also some nice walks around the plearce an Boy Dervud he wanted
ta know if I wanted a walk through the woods. I told him he’s
sorft , I dint want my sarnies ta git dry an I weren’t
up fa orl that ow Tomfuellery.
WE
SAW SOME OW ORGANS
Arter
the best part a some time we headed orf agin to the Music
Museum.

Dance Hall. They hed a Piana there n when the blook tunned

There

THE
WEATHER – WHAT DO YOU SAY?
When
I
was at Gressenhall
I saw Susan Palmer (the lovely lady from Dereham who
has featured in The Merry Mawkin regarding
her antics as a doctor [Mawkin
39, page 8]) who was interested to know what other
sayings there are about the weather.

Susan
says: “When skies are dark and rain threatens,
in Norfolk we say ‘It’s black over Will’s
Mother’s’,
whilst in Lincs they say ‘It’s black over
Faither’s Tate’s’.”
“After
a shower and a little bit of blue sky appears, in
London they say ‘There’s enough to make
a Dutchman a pair of trousers’, whilst here
in Norfolk we say ‘There’s enough for a
sailor’s shirt’.”
But
what do you say in your part of the world?
