Rachel sent me this today. I had heard Richard Stilgoe sing it before, but not seen the YouTube version. I suspect that there are probably Mrs Beamish characters in our village [so I pray for our Rector, in case they go to the Parish Church!]

That was so funny. I think we've all known a few Mrs Beamish types; our Pastor, when he was the vicar of the CofE church on the corner, had to run two services on a Sunday, one family service and one to placate the multitudinous Mrs Beamish types that lived in the village. :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like you all had a lot of fun!! I love watching Keeping up Appearances and how squeamish the vicar and others get when she's around! I just pity the poor bloke of a hubby!! Thanks for sharing this with us! And thanks for stopping by! I had some glitches with my laptop and couldn't remember your blog title. I'm glad you stopped by! God bless! Have an awesome weekend.
ReplyDeleteI was right about her being in the village - someone at church this morning told me her grandmother was actually called Mrs Beamish!! [Actually, I think my friend's relation was probably much nicer than the one in the clip]
ReplyDeleteAlways great to hear this- but you neglect to say it was not just Richard- it was in partnership with singer/songwriter and long-standing pal, Peter Skellern and performed on one of their Tours together. Hilarious recordings of these shows with such diverse subjects covered as School Dinners, Ramblers, a wonderful skit and song on Line Dancing which was ,in fact, performed at the Queens 80th Birthday bash at Windsor Castle. Not always humorous, there is also a very soulful song about the The Miner's Strike- research further- enjoy!
