Ode to a welly

Certain things remind me of my childhood - and Pam Ayres is one of them.

She always seemed to be on TV when I was a kid. I didn't like her at the time; but I'm going to try reading her again now - maybe her brand of humour is more suited to adults.

The reason I've been thinking about her is that the rural charity RABI has asked me to be one of the judges on their poetry competition and we're trying to get Pam Ayres to be a judge, too (apparently she's supported RABI before as she's interested in farming and the countryside).
