MMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmm 2 week out of date turkey
I assume it's been in the freezer as it's 'suitable for home freezing'.
However, it's turkey. I've done goose, duck(s) and chicken(s) at Christmas (even a whole sea bass once...had to cut it in two to get it in the oven) but never bothered with turkey. It's impressive size-wise on presentation but the flavour and texture (and rapacious pricing) mean I've never bothered although we have a local place that does Norfolk Bronze every year. Turkey has only been traditional since Henry VIII. Goose is good though.

Its not really mine. I googled yellow sicker Türkye and nicked that from the results!
The Türkiye bit up there ^^^ reminded me of a December trip to Turkey in the 80s. At the end of a trip around Cappadocia we headed south and back to a smallish hotel - about 7 rooms - near the yacht marina in Antalya (which was quite a small place back then). Bless 'em, they decided to cook the guests a turkey. Much hilarity about the fact that we call the bird a turkey...they call 'em hindi iirc. I don't think they'd ever roasted one before.
Result, me waiting for a bus to the airport for the trip home via a transfer at Istanbul at 6am trying to contain the world's greatest attack of the squits. Oh me oh my. As they say, the bottom didn't fall out of my world but it felt like the world was trying to fall out over my bottom.
(Wise wife didn't risk the turkey and was fine. It was a lesson I haven't forgotten).

I know an ex-pat who lives in Albi. He crashed his bike into his own parked car and broke his back... he got better, it must be 20 years ago, but everyone still takes the piss.

A mate of mine (who I haven't seen in decades) once reversed his Lotus Elan into his parked ZX10 (which tells you how long ago it was).
Spent a few minutes here waiting, so took a few pics.
Located on the riverside of Rocky Valley is a deep wooded valley formed by the Trevillett River near Tintagel is the derelict Trewethett Mill which was used for yarn production in the 18th century. On the rock face behind the old mill are two rock carvings of labyrinths. These are thought by some to be Bronze Age, although more recent studies suggest they were carved using metal tools less than 300 years ago.

Interesting that the sign has a single 't', the article is 'tt'. But not very interesting.
That takes me back. Jan 1979, Sat evening, I went on a call to a cow with milk fever at Trevalga, flurries of snow in the wind. By the time I’d finished we couldn’t see the yard light, real blizzard conditions, and I got stuck in the car halfway up the west side of Rocky Valley. Struggled through deep snow to the farm at Bossiney, stayed the night there and didn’t get home to St Teath till the Sunday afternoon, having abandoned the car 2 miles from home. Nostalgia.
