Welcome back Bushman, glad things are more settled. I'm spending another 16 days in our cottage in Norfolk, snow forecast tomorrow.
Been watching Mary Berry, enjoyable programme, then The Apprentice, which made me so frustrated watching their attempts at cookery! Healthy food when the only fresh veg was an onion! Cream in risotto! It's the way you cook the Arborio rice that makes it creamy.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Hi Bushman! Nice to have you back and that things are better fir you. Us north of the border need to keep the numbers up!
Dove what a great synopsis for Bushman
I watched Mary Berry too and had a bit of a grin when she was so thrilled to see a deer. At this time of the year they are a real menace as they come down off the hills for food. Our gantry on the M74 quite often has a deer warning!
L in the G bet you have done well
Busy snow? Brrrrr it's too cold for it here tonight and we have to let the wood burner go out as sweep due tomorrow.
Night night

Hi all. Hi Bushman. Very nice to see you back. I haven’t read back yet - we’ve been in Canberra since yesterday morning. Just to show you how hot it is here:
Boiling hot here in Melbourne, but apparently about to get unprecedented rainstorms - local news full of dire predictions of flooding . Not sure my “emergency rain poncho” is going to cut the mustard ☔️☔️☔️
It look like black ice out there and apparently we've got snow coming any minute ... OHs first day back to work after a few days off ... He'll be borrowing my bike cos his is at the menders having new bearings fitted.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

Oooo yum yum thanks Dove. Do I need to give it a dousing with anything before Christmas. ?
Sorry got sidetracked by anxious niece.
Pudding is nicely soused in brandy and has a silver threepenny piece somewhere in its middle so for goodness sake don't microwave it!!!
Needs steaming for about 3 hours on Christmas morning.
Night night folks. Sweet dreams all ... See you in the morning.

Even the locals are finding it hot.

We’ve got those predictions as well Chicky. Itll be interesting to see if the weather bureau is right, for a change
Morning all. Freezing this morning. -2 or so with worse to come later. No snow yet. Morning Pat hopefully the rain won' be as bad as they say.

Snow due over your side of the country Bushman. Keep warm.

Perhaps you'll get to do some snorkelling Chicky?
