I wonder if that is why mint was so popular in my grandparents gardens. Or the fact that mint just grows and grows.

Babies are funny how they can't yet control their heads.
We were talking about this show on Sunday over an Italian meal. We could not recall any steelworks around the Meersbrook area. We thought they were all down the Don Valley by the river.

It was awful ...my mother used to give me a couple of sheets for tracing paper because I kept nicking her grease proof😂

Very true. We know there were lots of Little Mesters workshops, some still exist. But heavy industry seemed to be further down the valley. Something for me to research later.
