New Lockdown Special Edition: Ask the Person Below You a Question!

My engagement ring which belonged originally to DHs Grandmother. No idea where it went.

Have you a favourite piece of jewellery?

Snowdon, love going up on the tram, but never had a clear view..

What personal possession have you lost, mislaid or had stolen which has upset you the most?

A white jardinaire. Bought it when we first married and cant bear to part with it.

What is your favourite mountain

It depends on the day and the weather. Since it’s getting lighter and we’ve discovered some new walks we’re doing better.

What’s the largest ornament in your house?

Well I used to be a sweet person. Since I have reversed my diabetes I am of necessity a savoury person. 1 square of very dark chocolate of an evening.

Do you think you are weathering the lockdowns well?

I’m an honest Joe and would take it to the police station.

Are you a sweet or savoury person?

Yes, a down to earth Capricorn with a hidden romantic centre.

If on a secluded walk you came across a badly hidden holdall stuffed full of used bank notes which could never be traced what would you do?

Ginger beer.

Do you think you are true to your star sign?

Mary, a girl who I went to infants’ school with. We were best friends until we went to 2 different grammar schools. Still remained friends but not so close.

What is your favourite cold drink (includes wine,spirits etc)?

Leaving tissues in pockets in clothes for the wash (that's one that I'll admit to!)

Who was your first best friend?

Short

Do you have a bad habit you’re prepared to reveal to us?

Potatoes , I use cauliflower e.g. for a shepherd's pie

Mostly in the summer. I do love bright clothes and have just ordered fuschia pink leather gloves.

If a recipe mentions breadcrumbs, I give it a miss.
What ingredients in a recipe make you do the same?

Escape to the country.

Do you wear bright clothes often?

Washing kitchen floor.

Favourite daytime TV show?

Not sure really. I nearly always cook from scratch but buy very good ingredients. I keep all shirts, towels etc for dusters. That sort of thing.

Fresh fruit salad, on holiday, in Spain.

I love hats. In winter usually a knitted one with a pompom, but in very cold weather a fleece hat to keep my ears warm.

What is your favourite breakfast?

Johnny Flynn, actor

What type of hat do you wear in the winter, if any?

Ten loo rolls are stored away which may seem excessive but I have two loos so they're shared out equally. I won't replenish stocks until I'm down to the last two in each.

If you were Lady Penelope in Thunderbirds who would be your 'Parker'?

Yes, I'm a prepper. I started in Spring 2019 in case of a no deal Brexit.

Rowan Joseph Rock

Do you stockpile any food item?

I'm always up by eight o'clock, but lately it's crept up towards ten past eight sometimes... shameful!

Not nowadays. Used to be pretty active in various team pursuits. Hated athletics.

No, I have a cast iron digestion.
