Hello from cold and soggy W.Yorks. Down to 5C overnight, and reached the dizzying height of 10.8 this afternoon.
Thanks, @chicky, Tipperary (or at least, the bit we were in) was lovely. Lots of rolling hills, a big lake (Loch Derg), pretty villages, little fields, trees... and rain. But not all the time.
A bonus was to come home to rapidly-ripening Victoria plums. My Heath Robinson method of supporting the heavily-laden branches (using washing poles and rope) seems to be working so far, and I picked a kilo or so yesterday. Plenty more to come - and the wasps don't seem to have discovered them yet. But a grand total of 3 runner beans so far. There are flowers, but the beans aren't setting, in spite of the rain.
I'm intrigued at the idea of making a table smaller, Fairy. With a saw??
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
Hi Liroidendron, I’m back to jumpers again, can’t believe a few weeks back we where in the hot hot weather in Hebden bridge where the classic car rally was held.
Morning all yesterday was a success despite the weather spending today washing up and tidying back room where we keep all the buts and bobs for outside catering. I have a mini mountain of whipped cream left over that hostess didn't want (we always offer to box up and wrap any leftover food for hostess/ host to keep or for guests to take away) Any suggestions? I do love whipped cream but everyone I know is dieting!
One of my colleagues delivered to the address in Clovelly where I waited in vain last week. " Don't say anything to them and see if they mention the fact they weren't there last week" Not a word from them until he eventually did dmentioned it. " Oh , erm, we forgot" Not a hint of apology for wasting our time/ fuel etc.
Morning all, Debs I too freeze cream in dollops, works very well. just having my scrambled eggs and toast in prep for stage 2eyes. one week down two to go! Hosta don’t know how you cope with jo public have a good day everyone,

or open freeze it in portions/mounds on waxed paper then bag them up. A portion thaws in a few minutes so a handy topping for a pud 😉

Another dreich morning here and the heating is back on.
On a plus note, I had 8 hours solid sleep last night. Hurrah.
