It's our Iron Wedding - and we're not going rusty just yet! Ha ha
We're spending the day in the quaint town of Louth, a real diamond in the beautiful Lincolnshire Wolds.
Louth boasts a huge number of shops including many charities, a myriad cafes and Tennyson even published here.
Today I was looking for Stephen King novels for a mate and found loads. I also saw lots of old kids annuals like Magpie, Roy Rogers and Champion the Wonder Horse.
One of the book was a gorgeous 1950's pop-up about cowboys with really lovely artwork. See what you think - this example is on eBay.

Vintage games go for a premium now and I saw an old Spears Spin Quiz and Ker-Plunk at a fiver each. A better deal was ForeThought in a great box at £3.50 but I passed.
Ever hopeful for Hong Kong plastic, I found none as usual, but I did buy a brand new electric shaver in Boots. Wet shaving recently caused me to nick my lip and it bled like you wouldn't believe!
Still, a nice Italian should go down well. We dine at 6. Seafood pizza sounds good.
What's your favourite pizza readers?
Ciaio!
Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great cowboy book. I think I had a cowboy pop-up book too, when I was little ?
Ham and Pineapple is my favourite pizza, mainly because it has pineapple on it.
Thanks Paul. Ham and Pineapple pizza! Ooh, controversial! Have you ever had Hawaiian toast? Ham, pineapple ring and with cheese grilled on top. Like a small pizza! Mmmmm.
DeleteCongratulations! The day may be iron but you are pure steel!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your pizza night out. A seafood Quattro Stagioni for me, please!
Mmm! Thanks Arto. The Four Seasons, Missus Moonbase's fave too, minus the seafood! It's what she had!
DeleteDining at 6 Woodsy ?
ReplyDeleteThough a Yorkshireman, I've lived away from the North for so long that I'm always surprised how early people eat dinner ('tea' in the North, since 'dinner' is lunch) in the regions.
We visited Halifax a few years ago and were shocked to find most of the restaurants taking last orders at 7 or 7.30 and closing at 8, even on a Friday !
We rarely eat before 8, and it's often nearer 9.
As for my favourite pizza, it has to be Double Pepperoni, the 'Diablo' version (ie with chillis) if I'm feeling brave.
Ha ha, the whole lunch and dinner thing is an issue in our family. The Missus and me say dinner at noon and tea around 5 or 6 but our daughter and grandkids in Shipley say lunch at noon and dinner at 5 or 6. Anything after 7 is supper, a word not really used other than fish supper, which is tea really! Ha ha!
DeleteAnd I'm with you on the pizza. I love Nduja sausage too!
ReplyDeleteAnd I had one last night! Baddabing!
