Good morning.

And the sun is splitting the trees on this St Andrew's Day.

I've had a quick walk and enjoyed a cuppa on the terrace.

Mr Martin lust fest at 11.

Walking into town for some bits this afternoon.

Making the new curry for later as no doubt we'll go to the pub first.

Enjoy the day.

Morning Campers!

Having a nice lie-in here - well sort of Mick has had to take the hounds out It's looking like a bright day which is great It's just us this weekend again, Becks is busy and Harry has a football tournament to play in........We'll be going out later no doubt for a wander

Spoke to Becks last night, she's loving her Friday zoo placement, yesterday was getting to know Archie the Armadillo who sounds a real character

Hope everyone has a great weekend xxxxx

It's great B is enjoying her placement Kaz and is so happy with her chosen studies.

Mooorning

It's a beeeeootiful morning and we're off to get some more beer after Mr Martin, of course

Curry for us too tonight - beef, for the first time I can't remember how long and rather delish it is too

Glad Becky is enjoying her course, love the Archie name

Hope you all have a lovely day and just enjoy xx

Thanks both

They seem to like the names to be alliterative - there were also Mabel and Millie the Meercat

Morning all

Bright and sunny here, hope it lasts for tomorrow.

Might try a quick drive down the road later, really would like to look for some cheap readers. Probably not a good idea to get too near the shops though, expect there will be crowds out looking for Christmas pressies.

Hope you all have a good day

Morning all
It's a beeeauuutiful day
Bb has to work It's the big Christmas fair etc in the next town today, so I'm hoping he gets done in time for us to go.
There are craft stalls all along the high street, farmers' market, French street market, more crafts in the big hall - and Fred Dineage switching on the lights
I managed to save a nice big sausage roll for his lunchbox so I'm in his good books

I might do some websurfing to try and find some Christmas presents, since I haven't bought a single thing yet

Glad B is so happy with it all Kaz - Archie the armadillo
Enjoy your curries
I shall be sorting out that pork later, luckily had a look at the James Martin recipe and had done the right thing by leaving it in the liquid
Jen hope your trial drive goes ok, glad you're feeling up to it x
Have a good day all

Oooooh

Susie the wine expert from Saturday Kitchen is in Birmingham.

Suddenly I'm excited!! I'm going there in 5 days and can't wait to see family and friends.

Morning all.

I am in the middle of making mini quiches for my pamper day tomorrow (or rather I was until S, L and S's friend decided to surface and take over the kitchen for pancake making!). Hopefully they will clear off out soon.

Mick is outside being manly with a chainsaw, chopping up wood for stacking. Its given the weather really dropping cold next week so we need to get fully stocked up.

I am making my mini quiches and then some mini mince pies, make my limoncello ready for Boxing Day (I'm very late with that!), I have adoption papers to read and Christmas cards to write and also need to battle through the junk in the attic (which I never got around to clearing out) to get to the advent calendars ready for tomorrow.

I am off out to a party tonight although am not intending on staying too late or drinking too much as I don't want to be hung over for pamper day tomorrow (although I'm sure a few glasses of asti and lime will soon blow that away).
