Lovely to see you and Lizzie together. I remember school milk in glass bottles with foil tops.👍😂🎄🎅🏻

Lizzie is such a lovely and polite young lady. Love listening to you two chat. I remember getting milk in a small glass milk bottle with a foil cap. It was free for all the school kids and was delivered straight from the town's milk factory.

[@heathertucker7056]

How lovely to see Lizzie she is such a lovely girl! I remember crepe paper and the colour coming off on your fingers when you tried to glue it! Ian is a musical star!

[@julielines3281]

Hi Paula and Lizzie lovely to see you both x I love hearing about childhood memories x

[@suzetteyoungblood6887]

I still remember the smell of peanut butter cookies when I’d walk into our elementary school. The cafeteria workers would get started baking early in the mornings. Mmmmmmm! Lizzie is so cute and it was great to get to se her. Glad you are having such a nice start to your week, Paula, and I do hope your back is better quickly. I’m a bit jealous of all the yummy Christmas treats you have over there! See you tomorrow! Suzette

[@dialuario514]

Hi Paula, it’s been ages since I’ve seen Lizzy. She’s as adorable as ever. It’s nice to go down memory lane isn’t it. ❤🎄

[@lindamartin4824]

[@Jean-zh8mt]

We used to make streamers with crepe paper. You cut about 2" off through all the layers, secured one end in the corner of the room and twisted the strip until you reached the opposite corner. Then repeated with the other diagonal. The height of sophistication ( well in those days there wasn't much choice ).

[@karencarswell5724]

Lizzie is a lovely kid. She looks so much like James.

[@lisalovesstitchin]

When I was at school, we used to spend the last week of school doing Christmas craft making Christmas cards and decorations (with crepe paper, tinsel and glitter) It was my favourite time of the year. In year 9 at school when I was about 14 we had different end of year classes to choose from and that's what you'd do all day for the last two weeks of term and I decided to join the bear making class and we made an Edwardian Ribbon Bear, mine is called Edward and I still have him. I remember furever friends 😀

[@gothurchin]

I remember the gold jugs and the glasses with the lines round the middle!

[@Sparkles4me]

Lizzie it’s so Nice to see you!!!

[@margarethastings3332]

I remember crepe paper! It was crinkly and stretchy too. Ian’s getting impatient now… (I’ll just stand on the bell! 🛎️😸) He’s so clever.

[@dianegatley2467]

Awww I was a milk monitor at my junior school and also got to write the music we played on the record player for assembly id have to use chalk to write the music we sang. Oh those were happy times at junior school. Loved seeing Lizzy bless her. Say hi from Di xx

[@suecoles7824]

Gorgeous Ian, so handsome ❤ and he kept his paw on the bell to be sure the treats kept coming😅 I remember the Tuck shop! My favourite were the potato puffs, we had milk in bottles and I would have extra milk if others in class did not want theirs, still love milk to this day. Lizzie is growing up fast lovely young lady ❤ Hugs Suze. 🐈‍⬛🥛🥮 xxx

[@ShellyString]

My primary school had a cardboard post box covered in red crêpe paper at Christmas! It was a very small school though; only two classes. We used to have glass bottles of milk with a straw piercing the foil cap (I'm only a year older than you but I'm further south so maybe that's why we had glass bottles and you had paper cartons). I don't remember milkshake or hot chocolate though. Your vlogmas posts are definitely the highlight of my day - especially when you perform with Ian 💚💚💚 I cross stitched some Forever Friends bears and the Country Companions when I was a teenager! I particularly liked Ed Hedgehog 🦔

[@daisyrea7219]

Yes I remember the copper jug and cups and the smell of the water. Copper has a natural antibiotic and can kill bacteria so it is really good . The glass bottle I used but then I am older but it was lovely. I don't remember chocolate drinks but chocolate custard that I do remember always loved desserts lol.

[@angelarowson6328]

Sheesh that girl is clearly her father’s daughter !!!! Soooo alike !!!!👨🏻👧🏻❤️

[@paulinedutton8576]

Absolutely loved your trip down memory lane Paula. Albeit I’m older than you it definitely brought back memories. Ian 😻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤣🤣🤣

[@bridiellewellyn8469]

The line on the glass😂 Oh woe betide anyone who went above it. great memories.

[@sandiking1584]

Lizzie is gorgeous, loved your banter about school. Love her choice of cards too, we do not have lovely cards like that here (Australia) or if we do I can not find any. Ian just could not get any cuter with his musical ability xx

[@Westeross]

Lovely memories 💖👍🏻🇦🇺

[@sallyidso182]

It’s like Ian has trained you to sing when he rings the 🛎️ bell 🐈‍⬛

[@sarah-janeireland157]

I think the greetings cards you’re talking about Paula were by Simon Elvin in the 1980’s. I worked on a card stall in an indoor market as a Saturday job and Simon Elvin Country Companion cards plus the bear ones, were all the rage back then! The Andrew Brownsword Forever Friends bears were also really popular too at that time, on cards and as cute cuddly toys. Take care 🎄✨

[@gailsutherland9676]

Lovely listening to you and Lizzie’s chat, jogged some nice memories, I had forgotten all about the school postbox, and the Country Companions cross stitch, I remember doing a sampler type one of them, I’m now wondering if I still have that somewhere - must have a look.

[@twopencehalfpenny]

Lizzie looks so lik James, facial expressions and all 😀

[@TheYarnHagRyan]

Paula this was a delightful video. I like how you reflect on things during your day and are grateful for the time with friends. The deliciousness & anticipation of something you’re going to eat. It is just wonderful!

[@jackieleipert1950]

I enjoyed your trip down Memory Lane. It took me back a bit too..

[@HubbardAmy]

HI Paula - I too love ALL the seasonal foods and treats! I was in London last December visiting family and came home with a suitcase full of British snack foods - they're so much better than what we have here in the US. Give me all the mince pies, Bakewell tarts and custard creams! Wish I had though to look for stollen while we were there - I've actually never had it. We are heading back over in April - what seasonal treats should I look for then 😂? ps - I loved visiting all the stores I've heard you talk about on the podcast like Sainsburys - we also had to hit up Waitrose and Marks and Spencer, great fun.

[@kitchenworker446]

I'm older than you Paula (62) so I remember free milk (in primary school) in small glass bottles with paper straws. Milk monitors were allowed to carry a very heavy crate of milk bottles into each classroom and everyone was given a bottle of milk and a straw. You got into trouble if you didn't finish your milk...so I used to give my bottle to Gary Peake...he could drink 3 bottles one after another...we could also buy a coconut marshmallow biscuit for a penny. It was a biscuit base with pink marshmallow on the top and sprinkled with coconut...yummy.

[@SherryRector]

Don’t overdo but you will. Enjoyed this video. I love that bell ringing cat. You are ringy dingy dude cat. 😂😂😂

[@Stumpybear7640]

Hi Lizzie! So nice to see you. Thanks for sharing what's going on in your school with your lovely mum. Ian in fine form! Gorgeous boy xxx ps Lizzie, can you knit? X

[@michellehenderson2773]

Paula we had a big box with the crepe paper in my primary school to lol 😂 lovely to see Lizzie 👋

[@gailgreen6873]

Beautiful lizzy

[@lenorerhodes8110]

In the 50’s-60’s when I was at primary school (Australia) the milk man would deliver large crates of milk in small bottles at school. They never bothered to put it in the shade in summer and by the time it was handed out it was hot and it tasted awful. Thank goodness mum sent them a note to say I couldn’t drink it. I always felt sorry for all the other kids who had too. Your fur bags are lovely with the cutest faces. I was thinking you may be able to make and sell hot water bottle covers using the fur with the same adorable faces. ❤️❤️🌺

[@normasmith9596]

We went home for lunch and never got any drinks of anything at school. I like your school better. Lol. Isn’t it nice to have a great morning. Are you knitting your sweater?😊

[@LaurieHoepner0724]

❤❤❤

[@jogreen7764]

I remember the lemon and strawberry flavoured Lipsyl! 😂

[@munchkinheaven7877]

Crepe paper looks a bit like elastic bandage

[@animallover5291]
