Fireman Sam and My Mam.
Fireman Sam for Noah, has taken over from Escape To The Country for me - as the prime telly viewing when we're afternooning at my Mum's, like we are today.
But I have to say, pesky little Norman is a right bloomin' firebug. Everywhere that kid goes, another blaze sparks up. Our collective vote by the way is in favour of the 3D old episodes, over the new CGI.
Other ingredients to a successful afternoon of loveliness at Mrs Evans Snr's, include the kettle and the biccie tin.
Calories don't count when my mum's involved. Er - I hope.

Calories definately don't count at your Mum's or if you have just taken your child to a music exam and you need to stop at the golden arches for a quick lunch on the way home!

My lovely Dad would have been 89 today - I just wish I was up there for the party that is going!
Sorry I haven't had the chance to catch up. I hope all the poorly peeps are getting better.

Don't eat too many custard creams & bourbons Chris!
Have a lovely time with little Noah at your lovely mums. I have to say that some of the happiest days of my life were spent at my mums with my son when he was little. I particularly remember Sunday evening after having such a wonderful Sunday roast and then a delicious tea and then watching The Muppet Show just before leaving to catch the bus home.

I have to agree with the Evans collective - the old Fireman Sam's are far superior. In the same way that the new Thomas series where they all have their own voices are just not as good as the old one. (can you tell I have small children!)

Fireman Sam eh? I didn't know that was still made, that was on when I was younger. My earliest kids TV show memories include Pigeon St, Rainbow, and Button Moon. Am less familiar with current kids TV, apart from In the Night Garden, which my 2 year old goddaughter loves!
Hope everyone has had a good day, will raise a wee glass of the pink stuff later.

Chris, have had a day of Cebebbies with gorgeous little granddaughter so I know all about Fireman Sam and the rest. We also ran about the garden in the sun like a couple of mad things. And yes, mum's biscuit tin has no calories at all, according to my daughter.
Hope everyone is well or getting better.

Sounds like she toured the houses under the Mound that they closed up because of the plague. Have never been there but I know people who have and it sounds scary.

Hope you're all well, especially Chris, Noah and Mrs. Evans (Snr. & younger).
I used to love it when my three little ones would come home from school, have their tea and we'd all sit down in front of the telly watching all sorts of goodies on the good old Beeb, before homework and bath-time. Happy days - miss it all so much and will just have to wait until they (my three little ones that are now big) produce some lovely little bambinos of their own for me to cuddle and enjoy telly programmes with. Long live Andy Pandy, Pingu, Nellie the Elephant (bit too close to home e.g. my waistline - that one) Thundercats and He-Man.
