  1. Darling Mitzi,

    As we are without a television and have been so for the last thirty years, we have been glued to your little film of Darling Deidre. We had not realised that Coronation Street viewers were being introduced to couscous. How tastes have changed since Easyjet took to the airways.

    Anne Kirkbride was such a mainstay and her glasses were surely the making of Specsavers. She will be missed. Just exactly how many lovers/ husbands did she have? A modern day woman if ever there was!

    1. We are ever so chichi up here in the North, no it's true. Whilst browsing the specialty aisle at Tesco not only did I discover couscous but something called fu-fu flour too, which is made from the Cassava, whatever that is. Deirdre was once married to a Moroccan she had met on holiday called Samir, her surname was Rachid for a while, that explains why she has a love for couscous. She must have looked a pretty sight, sat on a leather pouf, dressed in a djellaba, toying with her couscous.

    1. I feel your pain Fanny, but we must compose ourselves for the sake of our maids.

    2. Sorry, darling, I'm a bit muddled today (no maid). I didn't actually realize the actress who played Deidre had passed away today. I removed my original posting as I thought what I had written was a bit insensitive, in light of that. Sorry if it caused any offence. Poor Deidre... she was a legend. Fanny x

  3. "Whenever Tracy writes she always says she loves my stuffed marrow"
    "She's in jail, Deirdre, surviving on gruel (or is it grool)".

    Who wrote the script? The Wombles?

    1. I recently read somewhere about the Wombles making a comeback. Perhaps Madame Cholet is going to be Ken's next love interest.

  4. I see that Nigel Havers has enjoyed stuffing Deidre's marrow, as well.

    1. That come hither look Nigel gives Deirdre at the end of the clip is so knicker wetting, sphincter slackeningly sexy. I too would have succumbed to Nigel's fatal charms.

  5. That lascivious lick of the lips as her eyes lingered on Nigel's! She was definitely thinking about a stuffing of some description.

    Bless her, R.I.P

    1. Deirdre has got the fanny gallops and Nigel wants to take her up the red wreck. There is not one memorable character in the Corrie cast now, the three remaining stalwarts, Ken, Rita and Emily are as dull as ditch water.

      RIP Coronation Street.

  6. She's rubbing that marrow quite vigorously.

    And to think I recently mocked her neck in a recent post you published. I'm going straight to hell.

    1. You can do penance by making stuffed marrow for dinner tomorrow.

      "Would you like some ketchup, Audrey?"
      Eh no thanks.

      There was a sign in a café window in town on Wednesday saying 'Free coffee and cake for people called Deirdre' I thought that was touching. I doubt they gave many, if any, away though. I don't know any Deirdre's, do you?

    2. I DO know a Deirdre. But just the one. And she's nothing like our Deirdre.

      Did someone mention CAKE?
