xbox wrote this in a previous lesson that I thought rather interesting:-

‘I found this very interesting and learned a lot. Hope you do too.

The next time you are washing your hands and complain because the water temperature isn’t just how you like it, think about how things used to be. Here are some facts about the 1500s:

In the Spring they;
the towns people would get their berries sprouting, sometimes to early. the Winter, as we all know in the early months of April, especially in England, are very unstable, it could all of a sudden ice out of nowhere. So, People would have to throw straw over the tops of the berries to insulate them, and keep them from spoiling from over exposure to the weather. Hence the name (Strawberries)’

Hi M, could you help us out here please? When catching up with an old freind of mine, he claims he has noble ansestory dateing back
ages. A Baron. According to my dictionary, Baron, is the lowest order of British Nobility however, it also relates to a double Sirloin! A Baron of Beef! Is this where ‘Sir’-loin comes from in some way or why whould a knight be named after a cows loins? Could HFW’s please investigate? Thank you once again
Strawberries and Cream, it’s the only way to be……….
Have always grown Stawberries with a bed of straw then chase after a cow to get the cream
