    That's good @AuntyRach.

    I love lamb too but can't stand fried bread in any fat tho I love toast with lots of melted butter.Ā  Ā I find beef is boring and only ever use it minced for a bolognese or, rarely, proper minced steak from a good breed for a burger in a French bistro.Ā  There used to be a very good one at La Roche but they've changed the menu and the extras on the burgers no longer suit us.

    Been out planting red cabbages and extending the butterfly netting which involves cutting lengths of rusty 5mm metal to make supports for the hoops.Ā  OH got very grumpy when he asked where the loppers were and I said he'd had them last so I had no idea.Ā  He got very grumpy when I eventually realised he meant bolt cutters which I'd put back in the tool box, as you'd expect.

    I have fond memories of a lovely Greek chap in Corfu, where the lamb is sensational.

    Here are the cranes arriving one year in early March. May have posted a photo of them before.

    I've just come back from sewing club and found my photo waiting to be posted so I'll click on post and see what happens, could have sworn I'd already sent it.

    I cleared the rest of the long border then went to sewing club. We needed a new project, having finished the altar cloth so we are going to make a patchwork quilt and raffle or sell it for charity.

    But what about your lovely OH, Lyn?

    I love lamb, especially 5 - 7 hour lamb.

    Love those cranes @Busy-Lizzie.Ā  Ā Good idea to make a quilt too.Ā  I need to try and get my lot together for such a project to make a contribution to Telethon or some local charity.

    I have a cousin (well 4 actually) whose parents emigrated to SA when I was 11.   I met them again 20 years ago at their mother's funeral.   By then the parents had come "home" because it was getting too violent out there after the fiancé of one of th egrand-daughters was gunned down in his pharmacy.   The 3rd daughter had married a gorgeous  Greek SA chap and he decided they were retiring back "home" too except home was a small village in the back end of Greece and she hated it - no freedom and lots of domestic expectations and her OH reverted to type.  Her daughters and the youngest cousin have all settled in England.

    Yes, he’s lovely too, but in a Ā different way šŸ™‚ and a roast lamb dinner is his favourite.Ā 
    I suppose we remember our first loves, he introduced me to London clubs, theatres, his friends father owned a shipping line. All very posh for me at the time.Ā
