The Pieman Cometh.

There was much relief yesterday when Alan Haydon set forth on his regular mission to bring Mike Howe's fine meat pies and pasties to Mr Haydon's regular customers. Those needing their regular fix of Steak and Ale and Chicken Curry pies had their appitites satisfied. There is always much joy amongst the people of Silverton when the pieman cometh.

Perhaps Alan Haydon, in his musical capacity could record a tune in honour of the pies that he could broadcast from his car when he is doing his rounds.

The old saying, “behind every successful man there is an exhausted woman” is true, and apt in this case. Whilst I do deliver the pies, it is Maureen who phones our friends, gets the orders, collates them, then phones Mike and Lyn who make the pies and deliver them, at which point Maureen splits the total order into individual orders, parcels them up, and then, and only then, do I get involved !!

I’ll think a bit more about a musical connection - but quickly, off the top of my head, how about new lyrics for “Pies, Glorious Pies” from OLIVER or “My Favourite Things” from SOUND OF MUSIC !!
