    Steve. Not according to the weather channel. I must admit I got a shock when I went out and saw it looming over the east end of the valley. Eek!

    Love clouds Patimage.  I can see the lower half of Britain, though slightly squashedimage.  Thanks for the offer of your recipe.  I'd love to try it tooimage

    Dove thank  you for the recipe.  I wish I was more organised and kept successful ones instead of jotting them on scrap paper And throwing them awayimage.  I'll let you know the scores on the doors laterimage

    DD - he sounds perfect.  No man is perfectimage

    Fairy - re 'Is he hoping to pull?'   I hope soimage.  He can't get so much washing in the basket from the USimage

    Morning all.

    Don't forget that 6am for you is 7am for me and DD image But she'd already made breakfast before 7am, still very early for me!

    I use a lot more leek than potato in soup, that's quantity not weight. It's all guesswork! I use chicken stock cube too and onions.

    A friend is coming this morning, my first ever French friend. Since her OH retired and they moved to Brittany I rarely see her.

    Morning all image

    I've not been around much this week I've been busy in the garden and doing some more de-cluttering and washing walls ready to decorate image Also needed a new iron, OH said ours packed in due to lack of use image 

    Sorry to hear your sad news Jo image

    Good morning KEF and everyone else who's appeared whilst I've been wielding the hoover upstairs image

    You've got me worried now KEF - if that's the cause I've a feeling our iron will pack up at any moment image

    Coffee and a bacon sarnie being consumed - then I need to make a shopping list for OH to bring home from the farm shop and then I must get out into the garden ... there's a few jobs that won't wait much longer - sow the broad beans, plant some iris reticulata, pot on some violas, decide whether to stake or put windbreak fabric around sprouting broccoli or both, rake some leaves ... oooh 'eck, I think I need another coffee .......

    Can you do my bulbs too Dove? Too busy making my starling proof cage yesterday ... and it's not gardening weather here right now...image

    My iron probably won't work then...image

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



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

    Lesley, I've PM'd the recipe - not sure of its OK to put someone else's recipe on an open site, however it was on a TV program, so it was available to everyone.image

    Jo, the cloud seems to have dissipated . Don't ask me - I can't work it out. It's almost dark now (7.45pm).

    Pat, I think when posting someone else's recipes online it's ok if they're on a website - then you can link to that and you're covered re copyright etc. image

    But on the bright side ... I probably won't find out for ages ................... image

     

    Fg, ok ... but can you wash my kitchen floor? image

    Good morning, late this morning as had very disturbed worrying about a nasty situation I am trying to deal with. I must be getting older would haven't upset me 5 years ago!

    Pat how I remember the size of the sky! Stunning, what an outlook you have!

    sounds like we all have grotty weather this morning, I might just make soup you have all got me thinking leek and potato! 

    DD are your visitors away? They did sound easy on the eye ( a saying of my sons!)

    Dove, you going to the farm shop?   I can't find any venison sausages ................

    joe I never really believe the forecasts, they are usually out 24 hours either way!

    will probably prepare roast potatoes for freezer this morning and a batch of Autumn jam to finish off fruit.

    have a cosy day everyone
