    Didn't see you sneaking in Clari.  Good one.  Your eyes so bad you need 3 pairs of sun specs Dove?

    The chappy in the tyre shop once asked for my registration number and then looked to my husband for the reply. He stepped back laughing and mumbled "oh dear"... image Nuff said!

    Great to hear of your adventures chicky. It sounds like you're squeezing it all in!!!

    Obes your pond looks about the same size as mine. It's a monster!

    Enjoy your Thursday.

    Morning, all a bit of a rush this morning but wanted to say a big thank you to LG the L very helpful indeed

    Clari I would have loved to have heard that conversation!!

    Chicky Karanda is lovely. Thirty years since did it but it can't have changed. I still have aboriginal beads I bought at the top. Lovely crafts.  I have four little ones, never thought there would be any !

    Have a great day

    What a busy lot you've been since I last looked in. 

    Too much to mention, but Clari, well done you. I'm reminded of a female friend of mine who had to drive a guy's Jag for him. "Have you ever driven a car like this before? It's rather powerful" She replied, " Well, I've driven my father's Aston Martin DB5 round the road racing circuit at Goodwood. Does that count? "

    All folks on holidays/ days out: have a great time.,Pat enjoy messing about in the new car, you'll get the hang of it in no time.Dove, why not pop in and raise a glass to Carluccio?

    Glorious sunny day here but our first frost forecast tonight, so I'm aiming to get dahlias and cannas lifted into polytunnel today.

    Good for you Clari image

    Well done Hosta

    Hello everyone else - hope you're enjoying your various trips and holidays.

    Punkdoc family - sending best wishes, peace and strength.

    I'm going to have a second attempt at making bread. First one went OK (granary) so am now going to move up to white bread. Only hoping for 'edible' at this stage ....

  • Rgirl ... best tip re bread making ... don't stint on the liquid ... it'll make the dough sticky but that'll be cured when you've kneaded it enough.

    It's the opposite of pastry which needs only 'just enough' liquid.   Good luck and enjoy! image

    Obelixx, yes, "did" the RHS gardens, and "members days" for Chelsea and Hampton Court, but didnt feel the cost justified what we were getting, I do make good use of the National Trust membership though.  Oh, damned dog has just come with fox poo all round her neck!!!
