Well, my last post was great fun! It's amazing the things I've found when I've been researching for this book...

But all that writing about peas did put me in mind of a merry little tale years ago. When I was a child, an elderly neighbour of ours was forever taking Kidney and Liver Pills, using a brand that was well known for turning your urine a bright shade of green. (Pea green, get it? ) Anyway, she had her grandson staying with her one day when I went around there with my mother and aunt, and he was a bit of a handful, she said she'd had to keep telling him off and threatening him with the bogey man and heaven knows who else.

Then suddenly the little lad emerged from the garden, having clearly made a visit down to the Ty Bach (outside loo). There was this wonderful triumphant expression on his face as he finally found himself in a position to exact his revenge.
'Ahah.... I've got you now, Granny,' he bawled, 'I'm going to tell everyone you pees green!!!!;'

Ahhhh....... happy days
