    Evening all. 

    Loving the bench, Liri - a garden should always have a seat amongst the greenery - gorgeous. 

    Anyone watching Bake Off? Wonder if Mary Berry is?? Or, for something a bit different - Horizon: What Makes A Psychopath?

    Swiss Army Man? I'm imagining hands which double as knives, bottle openers etc?? 

    The flooding sounds awful -  can't imagine how frightening that must be.

    I decided to watch Bake Off in preference to the psychopath programme... I'd rather imagine myself as a baker than wonder if I might have psychopathic tendencies...  image

    Just seen Bake Off. Thought it was very similar to the old one, they've kept the same format. Enjoyed it. And the ads mean I can have a break to make a drink and go to the loo.

    Such a pretty bench, Liri.

    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    I just can't imagine 40 inch of rain in 3 days.  It stopped raining and they made a dash to the supermarket, then it started raining again, and the way back was flooded and they had to wade.  Three of them, a 12 week old lab, a feral cat and four new kittens they rescued,  all holed up in a one bedroom flat.

     I saw the end of bake off. I liked the look of the watermelon.

    Thank you.  Don't know what happened to the end of my sentence in my post on the previous page - perhaps it remained in my head image.  Meant to say we decided not to paint the sunflowers yellow - bit too loud for our liking.  image

    I'm watching Bake Off on "plus 1" so we've just had the little chocolate/mint mini rolls.  image

    Loved the Bake Off. I'm slightly in love with Noel Fielding though anyway....image  image

    I recorded and then fast forwarded the ads BL image

    Those showstopper cakes were superb.

    Fidget - sounds hideous. Hope everyone is ok. 

    That looks image Dove. I like a cone although I rarely have ice cream.  I know what you mean about cream Obs. We don't have desserts very often - in fact never - but if we have a pie or a birthday cake, that's when we have some cream. Younger daughter likes a plain chocolate cake (without any icing - just dry image ) so I managed to persuade her it needed some cream or something in the middle. It wasn't really necessary to have cream poured over it though...image 

    Unless we, as a society, stop burying our heads in the sand, investigate properly, and produce proper penalties, people trafficking is going to be one of the biggest tragedies of the modern world. 

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Fidget - that's awful, yet wonderful to think they are protecting those animals.

    Bake Off was good but thought they would be brave and change the format slightly. That BLT - wow! 

    Will probably iplayer the Psychopath prog, but not just before bed. 

    Decaff and duvet time... night all.
