a pea in a pod

My second strange coincidence ( after the one in Barcelona ) occured when I was in my early 20's and working with disadvantaged children in Newcastle. We had taken some children on a caravan holiday to Berwick-upon-tweed. I was out walking with one of the children ( J ) when I told him that I had a strong craving for peas in the pod! I then said why don't we scramble down this cliff to the sea ( it was a bit tricky but we both managed it ) Then we saw a small pile of stones that someone had obviously placed there and right in the middle, you guessed it, a pile of peas in their pods! J gave me a strange look but he couldn't explain it either. We sat and ate the peas and then walked back to the caravan where I had to endure lots of jokes about broomsticks for the rest of the holiday. To this day I just can't explain this peculiar event and probably no one believes me when I tell them! But it was true!
