Our Phili-Pam

Hi all One thing you may not have noticed about me is that one of my favourite aspects of life is eating. I was once asked by a student, what my favourite subject at school was. I told them dinner hour. Having enjoyed a historical event to day, my Pam decided to continue the historical theme and our evening meal this evening was finished off with school rice pudding. I like thick rice pudding where the milk has all cooked away and I can scrape the oven dish, but for a change, today's was cooked on top of the cooker, the grammar school way. I always received top marks for dinner hour at school.

Hi all Our site here is not a commercial site, BUT, a big but, a rare event takes place every other Friday at our home. A man & his van come from Ringtons. Not Davenports that used to, or the pop lorry, or the bread or the veg man. We still have Ringtons. Hope you like.

Thats amazing Philip, although I don't think the delivery man looks too happy - maybe he isn't getting paid to smile!

Hi Tony He should be happy, the amount that I buy from him, as I am his agent for the rest of our family. PS. I have had email clearance from Ringtons to include the picture. What a pip

Philip, my dear old dad recently send me a copy of a family DVD from the 1980s and guess who's on there eating mince pies - you (Pam is on there as well). it was a bit emotional because there were images of my mother as well. If I remember correctly, you played the organ at her funeral.

Hi Bryn Gosh, that is a lovely post and thank you so, so much. The church was packed. There was a piano accompaniment as well as the organ. It was a very moving service, with a depth of feeling that was true. The singing would rival many a choir. During the hymn "Jesus shall take the highest honour" neither the pianist nor I could see what we were doing, it was just as well that we knew it. I am sure that the singing could be heard in Wales!

I think it's one of the Historic Coventry Forum moderators' birthday today, April 1st. Happy Birthday Philip. Have a good un.

Happy Birthday Philip!

I'll second that, cheers

Happy Birthday Philip! (It's also our grandson's birthday today)

Happy Birthday Philip, I hope you have a fantastic day.

Do we know for certain it's Philip's birthday or is this an April 1st gag?

Happy birthday Philip - hope you've had a good day

Hi & thank you to you all Yes, as from today I am 65. Old, clapped out and saggy around the ears.

Happy birthday (what's left of it, at any rate) and many happy returns.
