You are right that it doesn't work with a TV on!Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00371314706811756465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6672883659746456880.post-14364247070963219992014-09-09T20:38:54.631-07:002014-09-09T20:38:54.631-07:00'Family time' is getting less and less as ...'Family time' is getting less and less as time goes by and yet it is so important. I don't actually know any of my daughters friends that sit around the table everyday for dinner at night (we are the exception) and I think it is so sad as it is a really good way to all catch up for the day and in turn it helps to keep a family 'close'.....TV dinners just won't achieve the same thingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6672883659746456880.post-67960287454793650352014-09-02T05:37:49.530-07:002014-09-02T05:37:49.530-07:00Thanks for you comment Angela.

I hadn't thought about dining rooms getting smaller, but you are right that these things impact on how we live our lives.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00371314706811756465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6672883659746456880.post-64405939969239950102014-09-02T03:47:24.459-07:002014-09-02T03:47:24.459-07:00This is a really interesting post [I really must v...This is a really interesting post [I really must visit Ashby Castle sometime, it isn't far from me!] I heard Pru Leith ranting [in a nice way] on the radio about building regs changing over the years and rooms becoming smaller, so people no longer have space for a dining table to sit round, which has contributed to the demise of 'proper family meals' [her words] So much planning seems very shortsighted [eg children's access to play space] I do not often leave a comment, but I always enjoy your posts - they make me think, and challenge my own choices. Not always in 100% agreement - but so much of what you say chimes with my own feelings. Thanks for the blogAngelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13494078135251214182noreply@blogger.com
