Though it wasn't ideal in many ways, I have a huge soft spot for the 1970's as the first decade I really felt aware of :-) And there are so many things like the joy of being free to be a child in the 1970's which I will always be grateful to have experienced - we could roam wherever we liked and were just allowed to be children!<br />I love your photos and fancy seeing the Vesta dried food range - Vesta Chow Mein with Crispy Noodles was my favourite meal back in the day - given my ultra-healthy style of eating now, is quite a revelation! But you know, I would love to try those crispy noodles again - even if they turned out to be disgusting!!<br />I hope you have a good day at the Flea tomorrow, we're not sure if we'll be going or not, but will see what the day brings.<br />I hope all is well with you and yours - have a lovely week off and plenty of time in your garden room with your feet up :-)<br />Denise xA Bun Can Dancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02230119874949525088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30438487.post-87479699615562468982010-08-26T18:39:13.213+00:002010-08-26T18:39:13.213+00:00Hi Niki!

However, it seems as if the 'British Bulldog/Dunkirk spirit' overcame all odds and everyone turned out regardless.<br /><br />I'm sure you'll miss all the activity, but hopefully the Shepton locals will continue to visit their local shops and keep the new life of Shepton going strong.<br /><br />sUE XXVintage to Victorianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00227207487929669724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30438487.post-5198638029840218062010-08-26T17:19:50.604+00:002010-08-26T17:19:50.604+00:00Dear Niki

I have really enjoyed seeing Shepton Mallet's alter ego and really look forward to the series being aired on television this autumn.<br />Now Vesta Curries had a lot to play in my early romance... it was the first (dubious) meal that I cooked for my boyfriend at the age of 15. We are still together so it can't have been that bad!<br /><br />Love<br />Michele xCowboys and Custard Mercantilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13043221646753782790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30438487.post-84771989282912276472010-08-26T15:14:20.466+00:002010-08-26T15:14:20.466+00:00I read your Blog every day and have really enjoyed...I read your Blog every day and have really enjoyed the bits about the BBC filming.
