Sitting quietly in my abode when I heard a very loud bang!!! gunfire I thought - then quiet. A few minutes later - bang!! and then another one - what's going on I wondered, so I dragged myself out of my chair to investigate - then I remembered - I had put a dish full of chestnuts in the oven to roast and forget about them - they were exploding - even when I took them out of the oven they carried on exploding so I had to cover them with a tea towel!! |

Many ears ago when my kids were young, I put chestnuts in the oven too, then they started exploding....so stupid of me, I didn't realise this would happen.One of my children started crying, said there were footsteps in the oven.Lol. I had almost forgotten this incident Ann, thanks for bringing this lovely memory back. |
