'Morning folks :hello:

I hope all are well.:okay:

Well, the plasterer didn't turn up - I'll try a phone call when I've done my chores and finished my coffee break(my 'me' time).

We have a breezy, but dry, day after another wet night. I'm enjoying the calm in the house as Mrs B is at Day Care.

During the war years I think my mother pickled eggs as a way of keeping them. We had hens but they did not lay all year so any surplus had to be stored somehow.

We'd the wind and rain, "Donegal Danny weather", last night-early hours, now it's just a wee bit windy.

Morning??

In ancient times what is now Scotland was associated with settlement by the Irish. If I remember correctly the Picts, long associated with Roman era Scots, were associated with Ireland, which was once referred to as Pictland.

Maybe Bob is Irish!:laugh:

Not just ancient times either. Nova Scotia(New Scotia) when the Scottish moved to what is now Canada, to form a new Scotland/Scotia.

Irish he could manage, he says. But suppose there's Yorkshire blood in his veins. What then?

Eggs in any form would have been a delicacy during any WW..
I love eggs in every form but not pickled..
more likely I was scoofed and had bad beer but it is never the beers fault^_^
I dunno but anything pickled must be done in yon strong vinegar....

As well as pickling some in shells were put into isinglass which I don't think was a very long term thing.

Work back from yourself, two parents, each had two parents, who had two parents each.....

You're thinking of Blamire and Foggy, the only other one similar was Seymour the former headmaster.

You never know, those words may come back to haunt you. You'll be made eat them, possibly along with a pickled egg. We Yorkshire folk got to a fair few places.

I have done all this stuff, I only really bothered doing that..
enough work in finding that out without being side tracked...
the old family naming system was handy most of the time...
I have an occasional look in case any new info..
I'll be happy with what I do have..

You reckon you'd have been able to eat fifty?

I meant as a means of working out how Irish you were, not go chasing records for them.
