Dad was up first to light the fire in the lounge
Mum followed to put the kettle on and prepare the toast/cereal
Mum shouted up stairs to wake us
Mum made sure we were out the door in time for the bus
Dad was already gone by then
Even when she worked there was a cooked meal on the table at night if we wanted or we could have a snack as we had school dinners
Shopping was done ona Sat.; to town 7 miles away to buy meat/fish/pastries from the butchers or market
Roast dinner on Sundays
Anyone remember Spam? or the first fish fingers or Angel Delight

......... and tinned salmon, saved in our family for visitors!
As someone who is not familiar with the kitchen I admire anyone who is a keen Cook!
