At 4pm Mrs Trellis could be seen tottering through the village holding a heavy saucepan.
She was somewhat red faced and puffing like a steam train when I passed her on the opposite footpath of the main road
" Is the Prof in? " she gasped " I've made you both a rice pudding"

SO lovely!
ReplyDeleteLove rice pudding.
ReplyDeleteLucky you!
ReplyDeleteA hot pan of rice pudding would be welcome today!
ReplyDeleteHomemade rice pudding, delish.
ReplyDeleteBloody hell. I should have married her.
ReplyDeleteShe's your age...but mad as a box of sweet frogs
DeleteDon't you mean 'closer to mine than yours?' Even that is probably not true. Do you mean those sweet frogs which jump put of train windows in Harry Potter?
DeleteShe is indeed your age! I know that may smart, but it's true
DeleteShe's a bit young for tottering. Was she pissed? I always thought she was in her 80s from your past descriptions
DeleteOh, that's sweet of her! I love rice pudding. Raisins or no raisins? -Jenn
ReplyDeleteJust cinnamon and a skin thicker than a hippos arse
DeleteNow there's a visual! -Jenn
DeleteLook up the You Tube video of a hippo farting whilst wallowing in the shallows. It is - for once - truly awesome.
DeleteI have just seen it.....welcome to Winnie's world
DeleteI wish someone would bring me pudding
ReplyDeleteawwwww I like your friends Mad or Not.
ReplyDeletecheers, parsnip
LOVE rice pudding. Lucky men you are!
ReplyDeleteI love rice pudding. It reminds me of school dinners. A dollop of jam in the middle. Did you enjoy it? X
ReplyDeleteSlightly watery but lovely
DeleteTry new "Trellis" milk puddings - sweet and hearty like Mrs Trellis herself. (cue Buster Keaton advertising jingle as animated frogs leap madly from a box)
ReplyDeleteFor Mrs Trellis....think Mavis from coronation street with a large whippet
DeleteShe has just heard about your over 1000 followers and the exposure of the Despot.. Seeking equal fame.
ReplyDeleteI know ...GOING GENTLY and Jason Re truly going global
DeleteWe all want to live your village.
ReplyDeleteRice pudding is one of my favorites. It sounds especially good as I'm on the day before colonoscopy clear liquids only diet. I am amazingly hungry.
ReplyDeleteI had one of those ....... They are fine......just don't upset yourself if u fart
DeleteThat is so sweet what a neighborly thing to do.
ReplyDeleteShe's a sweetie
DeleteThis is what living in a village is all about!
ReplyDeleteI'm strange, I only like tinned rice puddings .... they're easier to carry around the streets too 😊
ReplyDeleteSuch a nice thing to do! But then, what goes around comes around. I seem to recall a number of people there (including you) who make and do for each other. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteWell that was nice of her!
ReplyDeleteMmmm. Rice pudding. It has been years since I have had any, and now I WANT ONE.
ReplyDeleteSweet of her!
ReplyDeleteI love your village!! Just sitting here in my post Walking Dead mind set. Oh my is all I'll say.

ReplyDeleteNot for me but if it had been bread and butter custard with a dollop of rich cream and a smidgen of marmalade on the crust, I'd have torn the door off its hinges. That's the trouble living alone, too hard to make for one, easy to make for two and eat the lot.
ReplyDeleteAnd I have to make do with Ambrosia!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet kind gesture from Mrs Trellis; kind people attract kind people.
ReplyDeleteGreetings Maria x
Proof that you are loved x
ReplyDeleteAs my grandmother aged her knees became very painful. I once caught her peeing in the rice pudding bowl, I guess she just couldn't face the stairs. I didn't let her know I'd seen her but I struggled with her rice puddings henceforth.
ReplyDeleteI wish we had neighbours like yours. I grew up with neighbours who'd have a chat and a cuppa over the garden fence. The area where I live now doesn't attract that kind of person. They live behind gated drives and don't want to know. Hopefully, we're moving in the next couple of years.
ReplyDeleteSounds like there was more steam coming from Mrs Trellis than coming from the rice pudding.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweetie!
ReplyDeleteOff to make one right now, my all time favourite pud, but has to be home made with a nice thick skin!
ReplyDeleteAnd this sort of thing is exactly why doubters think you are secretly testing out Archers sub plots on us!
ReplyDeleteI wish someone would steam my way with a nice rice pudding.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great surprise! And I LOVE the photo of Mary in your sidebar, sitting in the saucepan. Hilarious. (Not sure how long it's been there, but I just noticed it!)
ReplyDeleteBless her heart.
ReplyDeleteNow I need to go make a rice pud, I haven't had a home made one for years.

Wish my neighbor would make me rice pudding. Lucky you.
ReplyDeleteYour stories read like a sitcom. Only funnier and more endearing.
