    Just wandered over to the orchard, to open the greenhouse and was delighted to see some Fieldfares feasting on windfalls.

    Morning all, Have been up a while but been pottering around tidying up.  Off out soon with a friend for a browse around the shops.

    Liri I'm glad your mum is settled in her new home.

    Chicky OH sounds like he is on the mend.

    Met with the family yesterday and secondborn announced that we will be having a grandson in April to go with our two grandaughters. very excited.

    Friend arrived now so will have to sign off.

    Hi from Kingswinford in the West Midlands
  • Back from raiding Waitrose - I remembered the 25% off 6 boottles of wine that Hosta so kindly arranged for us and have emptied their shelves and filled our garage. 

    Liri - glad your Mum's move went well and she's not been upset by it.

    Chicky - good news re OH and I'm sure you're feeling a little less tense about it all

    Yvie - what lovely news image

    Sweet dreams Pat image

    ((hugs)) to everyone I've missed

    'boottles' dove - have you already been imbibing?  image

    Lyn -  I read A Handful of Dust which I enjoyed, but it was a very long time ago. Brideshead always makes my cry when I read it. Jeremy Irons was excellent too - Ryder wasn't a particularly nice character but I cried for him as well at the end. Superb piece of writing isn't it? Did you know they were originally to be cast the other way round? I can't imagine Irons as Sebastian at all. I've got a special edition box set of it, with lots of bits behind the scenes. I'd forgotten all about the strike at the time which meant they had to have a different director  image

    Lovely news for you Yvie image

    Saw your lovely pic on the camera thread Steve. It's a beauty.

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



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

    'Bootles'??? image hic

     

    Typing with fingers smelling of onion and garlic while they're softening on the hob ready to make a tagine for supper -  on Saturday Wonky kept talking about the tagines she makes and when Waitrose didn't have the shin of beef I wanted for a casserole for this evening, the only thing that would come into my brain was 'lamb for a tagine' so that's what we're having image

    OH has gone into the city on his bike for an eye test image  He doesn't wear glasses, but as an artist his vision is incredibly important to him, so he has regular tests - and 'cos he's a sensible chap image
