    Beatson House, Barnsley is the home of the true original Barnsley chop, fantastic, but you need a big appetite.
    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

    @Dovefromabove, do you get yours with the kidneys attached?

    Hello all.
    Bread looks good @Dovefromabove. I always called a Barnsley Chop a Saddle Chop.

    The passers by on my Norfolk walks have all been very good about distancing, polite and friendly too.

    Hope your toothache clears up with the antibiotics @Obelixx

    Cloudy today, I'm actually looking forward to the rain forecast for tomorrow.
    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    Yes, if I go to the right butcher and order it ... also pork chops with kidneys 😋

    @Lizzie27 - the reason I didn't even walk for several walks after our self isolation was because I could see how many people were around, and I didn't want to risk giving it to anyone, just in case I still had some symptoms. Those people who aren't following guidelines, don't know me, and don't know whether I've had it or not. They're totally thoughtless and inconsiderate. They could be passing it to others too, because not everyone gets any symptoms.  :/
    Codeine makes me go funny. No jokes please  ;) I can't do anything stronger than Ibuprofen, and I don't like taking anything unless I'm in real pain. 
    Hope all your aches disappear now too @Dovefromabove . The French beans will just have shrugged, and had a small coffee and a Gauloise....
    I slept from about 9pm last night until 1 ish, then went to bed and slept like a log. I was knacked after waking at four-ish yesterday morning. Feel a bit more human today.
    Better go and collect daughter now. I wish the buses would start running normally soon, but at least she can get any shopping we need.

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Started this project 24 years ago - then Chicklets arrived and my cross stitch days were over.  Now it’s finished .....rather proud of myself ☺️

    Oh that's beautiful @chicky. You'll be able to add that to the deccies later in the year  :)

    I've just watched an item on our news about one of the hospitals up north, and a lady who's contracted the virus - she thinks from visiting her husband [he had an inoperable tumour but had contracted the virus and died] and it should be shown nationwide, every hour, day and night, until people get the bl**dy message. What a lot of sense she spoke, and it was really moving. 

    Raining here now, so that'll give all my seeds a wee drink. Sky was black earlier, and it felt thundery, but we haven't had any of that. Hope my newly painted house wall is ok...
