Looks like we are in for more rain

    We've had some rain too Glenys and things feel quite soggy underfoot now and all the roadside ditches are full of water.

    Joyce- lots of obelisks made that day and all different - 


    I had a clematis in mind for mine, of course.  It - Brunette - didn't like that winter either.

    Obelixx, a friend uses a willow obelisk for her sweet peas then stores it in the garage over winter so it has lasted for a few years.

    That's one solution if I make another.  I do like an obelisk.

    Hello all ... my you've been chatty  :)

    I've done lots of kitchen stuff ... a moussaka made for tomorrow, a chicken jointed so OH can use the breasts for curry this evening while I've made a red wine marinade and the legs are bathing in that for Monday's Poulet au Vin and I've made a lovely stock with the carcass for soup next week.  Some nice family phone catch-ups as well.  I've also been through all our Virgin TiVo series links, doing some editing and prioritising so that's all organised and tidy.  Think I deserve a big mug of coffee ........... anyone???


    Well, we can pretend can't we ?  B)

    Obs, I was devastated when Stephen Fry quit QI, but Sandy T is divine. ( I still can't bring myself to watch bake off on  4 though )

    I still can't bear Prue, especially after her comments on Question Time last week.

    I didn't see QT ... I was asleep on the sofa. 

    She's ok as a food writer and she's good on Masterchef, but she's not a baker so out of her depth on Bakeoff ... nevertheless she's better at keeping the dreaded PH in order than Mary Berry was ... she was so indulgent of his boyish ways :tired_face: ... she set up a Cookery School but AFAIK she's not a chef ... Prue dropped out of uni, did a short course at the Cordon Bleu School in London and on the strength of that she set up a catering business ... which she sold for millions.  She's spent her life winging it and doing stuff by the seat of her pants and the skin of her teeth, and sometimes it shows.
