I haven't had a mince pie for probably 35 years, so long I can't remember what they taste like. :) If I didn't have a dryer I would never be able to do laundry, especially lately with all our rain and snow. It's so fascinating to see how various places in the world differ and yet are the same, isn't it? happy very late T day. My day was busy and I am only getting around to posts now. hugs-ErikaMy name is Erika.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04834435573574156495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6549829449802315358.post-39955866260097319602018-12-04T23:59:11.089+01:002018-12-04T23:59:11.089+01:00I loved those postcards-especially the hopscotch! ...I loved those postcards-especially the hopscotch! There was one in York museum the other week and I couldn't resist a go!We walk on the jetty at Morecambe regularly and I stil love to look at the rhymes and riddles as we pass them! It is only about 6 miles away from our caravan - our trips are almost always combined with a coffee at the Rotunda in the Midland Hotel! Your celebration looks good!

One inf the 4 block and the other in 5. 6 was a single block on top of the 4-5 and then another double block with 7 and 8. You tossed your stone and whatever number it landed on, you couldn't step on, on the way up and had to pick up your stone on the way back. You couldn't step on any lines or you would be out. At the top of the 7-8 block was a half circle and labeled home. I don't really remember what that was for. I don't think we sang a rhyme either just tossed the stone and hopped. I don't think many children here play outside as I did as a kid. So many of the kids have structured time for dance, sports. Your conversation group sounds like lots of fun especially the food and drink.

In Mexico they have a similar game called Avión because the grid has sort of an airplane shape.<br /><br />I remember one rhyme:<br /> <br /> One two buckle my shoe.<br /> Three four close the door.<br /> Five six pick up sticks.<br /> Seven eight shut the gate.<br /> Nine ten start again.<br /><br />The Morecamb stone version is fabulous.<br /><br />Your party looks like it was a lot of fun. I love gatherings where everybody contributes something, so no one has to work so much.<br /><br />Happy T-day!

I don't recall having one square we had to miss out but we did rotate the numbers at the start of each game. <br />Your mince pies looked delicious, I don't add suet to mine either.<br />Happy T day wishes.<br />Yvonne xxMeggymayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15523023041456397683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6549829449802315358.post-41776198433185618392018-12-04T15:02:24.120+01:002018-12-04T15:02:24.120+01:00i always love to read the information you give us ...i always love to read the information you give us with your postcards... always something new:)<br />and actually we had another jump-game in our childhood, in german "gummitwist", but you can look it up in wikipedia under "chinese jump rope". we played it with a long elastic household band. we could do this for hours!! - ankles - knees - thighs... i´m not sure i could do the knee-stage today;)<br />have a peaceful advent and happy t-day!johannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15236665096059653348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6549829449802315358.post-46200214812548450242018-12-04T10:34:13.200+01:002018-12-04T10:34:13.200+01:00A wonderful post as always.

I love the postcards, and remember playing hopscotch in London very well, and the kids here at school used to enjoy it, too - especially taking chalk from the classroom to draw on the playground. And mince tarts, how delicious, I haven't made any in years. I hope you remember to visit me this week, you forgot me last week!

I think I played hop-scotch as a child, but there were no rhymes. A cute card, though. <br /><br />Yes, lots of drink references to choose from today, dear Lisca. Thanks for sharing your coffee card, your water, your loose leaf tea, and your friend's alcohol with us for T this Tuesday.

And oh my that courgette gratin takes me back to my French family-mmmm! I have made it a few times but somehow it's just not the same:)I remember hop scotch so well but we never had any sayings to go along with the game. When I do see one drawn on the sidewalk anywhere (which sadly is disappearing in my parts) I just have to jump about:) Happy T day!Linda Kunsmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00569703961551672145noreply@blogger.com
