Blackberry nip used to be produced just up the road from us and the owners used to give Dad a carton each year of Creme de Menthe and Blackberry Nip - colours were spectacular .Mum and Dad went away for a long weekend so my 16 year old brother thought it would be a good idea to have a party for his first fifteen rugby team - the fullback thought it would be a goo$ idea to have a bit of kicking practice with a bottle of Blackberry nip - lucky it missed the China cabinet and hit the wall behind it - when my brother sobered up he was in an absolute panic so of course rang his sisters - my younger sister was married to a painter - he took one look at it and told my feeling very sorry for himself brother it would need repapering but how was he supposed to match the paper on a Sunday - he had paper in his van destined for his Monday job - so it was decided Mum would have her lounge repapered - when she arrived home it was disturbing to see how we all closed ranks and supported my lying brother telling my Mum we all decided it would be a nice surprise for her to have new wallpaper in the lounge - he was the golden child even if he had told the truth my Mum would have blamed us girls for not keeping him under control -
Did anyone see the lady on Seven Sharpe and her mohair wool shop - I didn’t catch where it was - her colours were simply stunning
Yes she was wonderful..OHH are you anywhere near the lady.
A grand age and still doing everything for herself. What an inspiration
They told me I couldn't, so I did.!!
