    Ooh, Fairy!  I didn't realise that was your job.  Is it fun and creative, or boring and repetitive?  Or a bit of both, perhaps??

    I'm just watching "Creme de la creme" on BBC2 - professional chefs doing a posh version of bake off.  Apple crumble like nothing I've ever seen before...  image image  ...but maybe they will taste ok...  image

    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

    Bit of  both Liri. Nice when we do some fancy ones - the end product can be really satisfying. The Highland ones are mostly quite dull really. We just did an order for the American Bulldog Society - they were very smart, and we did a few specials for Harrison and Hetherington (  north of England stock auctions) yesterday which were lovely - purple and cream with stars round them. We do all their rosettes and sashes. 

    I'm never that keen on those programmes either....bit too self indulgent for me. Would happily taste test them though  image

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



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

    Evening folks image welcome Betty image

    certainly not normal here! And it all comes naturally! image

    Fairy, SGL, Hazel image thanks for the well wishes, was very weak this morning but after more toast and some rice pudding I gained some strength this afternoon image hope Fairylett is recovering Fairy image

    I learnt the joy of trying to get out of the range car park today... Very bad design! It took me forty minutes and this was at 4pm! The crazy thing is I live five mins walk away but I needed compost and for once......I DONT have to carry it! image may have bought 3 packs of sweet pea seeds and some rather nifty plugplant trays with clear plastic lids that are sitting happily on the kitchen windowsill with the aforementioned sweetpeas in image think I'd better go back to work tomorrow before I get in any more mischief! image also applied for another job so fingers crossed image

    I hope everyone had a lovely Easter weekend, hope some of you got some good weather cuz we didn't here! image

    Nighty night all, work tomorrow image

    Dove, thanks for making my excuses, you wouldn't have wanted me on here earlier! Not a well rabbit! image I suppose I will forgive the pause in production of my next jumper if your knitting schedule has a more pressing commitment image best of luck with it x

    The Crème de la Crème Bake Off was amazing!

    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    Morning all and afties Pat if you appear  image

    More clouds hovering here but no frost.

    Enjoy your tennis Dove - hope my tomatoes are as quick to pop through! I'm going to do my harebells later if I have time. 

    A quick look round before I go and make more 'ribbons' as the Americans call them image

    Have a good day everyone
