The Yorkshire Pudding Club
The Yorkshire Pudding Club | Milly Johnson

Three South Yorkshire friends, all on the cusp of 40, fall pregnant at the same time following a visit to an ancient fertility symbol. For Helen, it's a dream come true, although her husband is not as thrilled about it as she had hoped. Not only wrestling with painful ghosts of the past, Helen has to deal with the fact that her outwardly perfect marriage is crumbling before her eyes. For Janey, it is an unmitigated disaster as she has just been offered the career break of a life-time. And she has no idea either how it could possibly have happened, seeing as she and her ecstatic husband George were always so careful over contraception. For Elizabeth, it is mind-numbing, because she knows people like her shouldn't have children. Damaged by her dysfunctional childhood and emotionally lost, she not only has to contend with carrying a child she doubts she can ever love, but she also has to deal with the return to her life of a man whose love she must deny herself. Heart-warming, up-lifting, tear-jerking and lovely, THE YORKSHIRE PUDDING CLUB is the story of how three women find themselves empowered by unexpected pregnancy. How it revitalises one woman's tired marriage, strengthens another's belief in herself and brings love and warmth to a cold and empty life.

Thanks to those who have taken part so far in today‘s #ayupyorkshire challenge.

As today is Yorkshire Day, here‘s some words and phrases to learn so that everything that comes out of your gob is bobby-dazzlin‘ Yorksher...🤣

The one that isn‘t on here is EE BAH GUM, which kind of means ‘oh my god‘ and was used in the ‘olden days‘ by people who didn‘t want to swear or blaspheme....

Also ‘mardy‘ (see day 3 of the challenge) means moody... 😠

Oryx Mardy is a word I learnt when I moved to Manchester - most be some overlap. 5y
Megabooks Love it! Thanks! 5y
squirrelbrain Yes @Oryx I think mardy, and some other words, are more generally Northern, not just Yorkshire. Ay up duck apparently is Derbyshire! 5y
