Daughter 2 is coming to lunch today with her 3 children. Daughter 1 and I will go to the SM to buy some more food. I hope we can eat outside but showers are forecast. Bit short of space indoors, we'll have to use 2 rooms.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Good morning everyone, we made our return yesterday evening from sunny Broadstairs after lovely weekend with my niece. Took her advice and left around 7:30 pm apart from a little slow patch at the Dartford crossing it was an easy journey. Dull and grey here this am. I agree we could do with a bit more sun , tho plenty in Kent at weekend, but happy we are avoiding the heat of southern Europe. Regards to all.
Teenage boys do eat an inordinate amount @Busy-Lizzie! I remember my OH's nephews having seconds that were the same size as the firsts - and then tucking away lots of pudding! And I'm with you on the eggy front as far as puddings are concerned.
And I like the sound of your syrup tart and cream @Lizzie27.
My calendar is filling up fast. Daughter now on hols too so we are planning a couple of local trips (one to the Sainsbury's Centre @Dovefromabove) but they have to fit in with the Festival planning - the Festival is NEXT WEEK!!!! And my car has to go in for it's MOT - that's on Wednesday. Fingers crossed it doesn't have to stay at the garage to have any work done.
Hey ho ... knew it was too good to last ... our dental practice has at last let us know that they're going to stop working under the NHS ... we've had to sign up to a 'plan'. We chose the basic ...

We had a very good dentist when we first moved here @Dovefromabove - but we had to go private with him as he wasn't taking on any more NHS patients. My in-laws were already with him, as NHS patients so they, considerably wealthier than us, paid less than we did! He retired though, which is was a shame as he really was very good. But luckily we have another in town - but again transferred as private patients although I think he does offer some treatments on the NHS. Don't know - my next trip will be to have my teeth out (all those sticky puddings!). So avoiding at the moment.
Meant to post this earlier - the whole garden is a mess, but this particular part it really pleasing me at the moment - Waltzing Mathilda with complementary knifophia!
I’ve had another productive morning … a big pot of minestrone made (using up some courgettes and some of the gammon liquor from yesterday). That’s lunches sorted for a few days. I’ve also cooked some new potatoes and made a potato salad, and I got the mandolin out and made a coleslaw. Then I made a courgette and sage frittata… I’ve had some of that for lunch … then we’ve got the rest along with the slaw and salad and the remains of yesterday’s gammon for supper. Now feet are up and sewing box is nearby …

Thanks for all the lovely messages, I am lucky to know you all. Progress is occurring, the pain is reducing and I am walking short distances. Unfortunately sleep is still the major issue. Stitches out tomorrow, and then physio on Thursday.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
