Paula,

Your Mum's parsnip wine reminds me of the time that my Mother made it ready for Christmas one year!  She corked it tightly and there were some very loud bangs in the middle of the night when they all blew up!  It was in the wartime, and we all thought it was another raid!   :D

 ;D ;D ;D ;D  Made a dreadful mess!  But was very funny!

Stoney, I don't know how to say this but.......

 my nan had exactly the same dinner service! as soon as you described it I recognised it.
now what happened to it  :-\ I know I inherited lots of odd bits and pieces everytime they downsized and I do remember the serving dish too.  Next time I'm over my parents house I shall have a mooch in their garage.  How annoying just to lose the lid.

We have my mother-in-law's very old wall clock on the lounge wall.  It still keeps perfect time..or at least I think it does.  We stopped winding it up because the tick toc was so loud, and the lovely chime, chimed every quarter of an hour, so when we were watching a thriller on TV, and it came to...'and the murderer is....' BONG BONG BONG...   >:(
