    Morning all image 

    Sneaky catch up from the Salt mine - these mine owners are very generous letting us miners have interweb access image

    I'm super dooper thanks Lily image Just struggling to get up in the morning and find the time to eat, survey the garden, get dressed and then get to work image I'll get back into the routine soon . . . . hopefully . . . . image

    When I went to Oulton park the other week there was actually a road sign for a salt mine, I tried taking a pic but OH was driving too fast image

    Have a good day Panda and any other miners (including me).  KEF, can I give you my list too and Lily, if you get bored I have deadheading and weeding that needs doing image

    I forgot to comment on Corfu yesterday Lesley, did you like it?  We went a few years ago and loved it, couldn't decide this year between Corfu and Crete but have never been to Crete so that got the vote image

    As you know there are a lot of salt mines in Cheshire, OL and as it happens a few near to me.....in fact, there is a little village named 'Salt' close by and this is the village pub named 'The Holly Bush'.

    I didn't realise you were in Cheshire David, not that far from me, but I didn't actually realise there were lots of salt mines in Cheshire. That pub looks lovely image I've not heard of Salt the place, I tend to go to the bigger towns when working (Sandbach and Knutsford).

    Aww David that pub looks lovely, I know its summer, but I bet its got a lovely log fire in the winter, great to sit round with friends and a drink image

  • ....no, I'm in Staffordshire, OL....but the salt belt must extend south. There are no salt workings these days and haven't been in my time.

    I think Cheshire provides most of the salt & grit for the highways over the winter.

    I thought of the miners last week too when I had to pass the salt works in Cheshireimage

    OL it was a cruise we were on starting in Corfu - so so didn't see much of the place though I have been before and think it's lovely (apart from the mozziesimage)

    Lily I am waiting for the ground to dry a little before weeding.  If it's sunny later perhaps you could give me a hand - no sinks here though apart from kitchen and bathroomimage

    Maybe your bodyclock needs a new battery Pandaimage
