My mum was just like your grandad, always loved bacon fat, dripping and lots of butter and she died at 88 from old age - no arthritis, heart trouble etc etc. She always used to say that you should eat a good varied diet and everything in moderation. Think she had it about right as did your grandad - mind you I think that generation worked a lot harder physically so they didn't pile the pounds on.Rowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13679130612798888266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7602197958070805605.post-31604555014077234812009-09-04T13:43:06.859+01:002009-09-04T13:43:06.859+01:00Nora Ehpron films are fab I quite agree.

I think if folks are born with a certain constitution, they can eat/drink whatever they like without ill effects. My dad is 82 and he smoked from a very young age until in his 70's, is very overweight and eats fried food all the time - there's not much point in him worrying about it now at 82!! :0)Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03819895146199621505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7602197958070805605.post-11805308220829006082009-09-03T23:41:05.207+01:002009-09-03T23:41:05.207+01:00ah, round to yours then for beetroot sandwiches wi...ah, round to yours then for beetroot sandwiches with lashings of butter, ooh i love it !noellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10748419964136335953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7602197958070805605.post-66942788356140415032009-09-03T23:39:46.652+01:002009-09-03T23:39:46.652+01:00Special memories!

I remember going into their old scullery (that's what they called it then ... the only fitted bit was a sink with cold tap on the wall and a gas water heater) to find a pig's head staring at me .... grandad was going to make brawn which is something I've never tried. All my grandparents ate lard, dripping, salt,fry ups and all the other things that are supposed to be bad for us but they managed to survive until their late eighties with very few health problems.Lalabibaby @ Dreaming of The Simple Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08057380285632260678noreply@blogger.com
