Remember listening to this on my fathers old 78 black wax record, crackled and wobbled but I loved it then, and now. Great to have come upon it again on the tube.

Wonderfully fresh and inspiring recording. Makes me appreciate my extreme good fortune, particularly the friendship of my 12 beautiful pigs. One day they won't be here and I will only have the memory of them to keep with me. In the meantime I count my blessings indeed to be able to share my life with them.

Reply to 'lovelypigs'. Have just seen your videos, God bless you for taking such good care of your beautiful pigs. Every animal deserves love and care. I hope they stay with you for a long time.

@@peterallan7140 Hi Peter, Thank you for your very kind comment on my lovely boys and girls. I have only just noticed it. Just think, it was thirteen years ago that I wrote that. I had nineteen pigs for a few years but since then several have died one by one, and now I have only nine. My first boy Jimmy celebrated his eighteenth birthday on 8 January, and his own eldest boy Billy turns sixteen on Friday. I have found pigs to be absolutely delightful companions and they bring sunshine into my life every day and make my face ache from smiling. I don't know what it is about them that I love, but I adore them. They are so much like us, far more than most people realise. It gives me great pain to know that so many millions of them suffer terribly at man's callous hands, and they deserve vastly better from us. We, too, deserve better from us because we let ourselves down badly whenever we ill-treat anyone, and I think we harm ourselves massively because of it. I do not believe we can speak of progress or a high quality of life when we subject our cousins to such such suffering. I have not posted many videos on You Tube for quite some time but I have a lot on Facebook if you want to have a look.

Loved this melody from the time I first heard it on "Family Favourites" and when older, would harmonise with my sister Marian playing piano. It seems to embody the innocence and finer feelings I enjoyed in a 1950's childhood.

That takes me back, I forgotten about two way family favourites: "The time in Great Britain is twelve noon, in Germany one pm; time once again for two way family favourites". I remember this also being a popular choice on 'down your way' with Kathleen Ferrier a close second! Happy days.

I had not realized that this was their signature tune nor that they raised so much money for charity. Something about this song makes me weepy. Might also be that the girls are so English as am I and on the other side of the Atlantic. Wondering if any of the girls could still be living and will try to find out. Thanks again, Rumwa10 for these memories.
