hi guys . just put the ham shank in to boil having soak it overnight to get most of the salt out bachelors quick soak peas . we are having it today with some nice crusty bread & saving the rest for our journey. me & bill was brought up on things like pea & ham soup /cowheel /tripe . bills dad buggered off leaving his mother with 4 kids so going to school with a fag packet in a hole in his shoe was the norm . when the kids came out in the street with toffees his mum would make him sugar a butty . i had the same upbringing not much money you ate what was on you plate & Christmas time your mum would put fruit in stockings on the mantlepiece then when it was over they went straight back in the fruit bowel . so no we don't feel guilty going to Spain for 3 months val
