Sheila did you see what you said about Jane's SOAP!!!! You silly billy.

Don't think Chris would have been too pleased if it tasted of Soap.

Hope you have a safe journey to Wales when you go.

Gosh I have just seen the time!!!! and I have'nt started dinner yet!!

I'm off....................................................................

We both enjoyed it Jane, he is a very good actor. You have got me hankering after Scotch Broth now......I would just liquidise it if it went a bit sloppy after freezing. Just as nice piping hot with crusty bread.

Shirl, I hope your OH's foot is ok and your SIL....how would they manage without us? You have been kept busy then dashing here and there.

That Ice House is a bit spooky, it is next to woodland and I won't walk around the back of it on my own. Just behind it is a huge pond, but I don't know if that is just a coincidence or whether they all did. Maybe they kept fish in there and packed them in ice to take to the big house.

Mandy I must look my pins out and start my xmas socks!! lol

Ann, when i went to the wool shop the other day there was some lovely wool , i said to the lady oh i like this she said it was Sock wool , it was one of those balls of random colours ,4ply i think, i bet it would make some lovely warm socks for the winter !
i'am quite tempted to buy some and make socks to wear when i have my boots on .
Probably have to knit them on four needles ,but i'd give it a go !

I think I should have reduced the amount .....I have 1 and a half litre's of the stuff.I could feed the whole of the world lol.Maybe I could find a soup kitchen for the homeless .Liquidizing may be a good idea Ann.

Dear Beryl is still coming up trumps then Sheila lol Little girls love playing with beads.

I bet that pond Ann would have been the fishpond for the big house.There is a field just down the road that used to contain fishponds

Shirl ,I hope your OG's foot is alright and your SIL is not in too much pain with that chipped Coccyx .

Night Night Everyone.I'm still waiting for this huge pan of soup to cool enough to put in the fridge overnight lol.I may be here for hours !!!

oh my goodness well everyone knows I am daft by now
poor Chris maybe he washed in it . I put a note out for the man who brings me a few bits of meat for
for the dog wrote
If out please leave you scraggy end in the porch make sure its put somewhere it wont be tampered with.
He left me a message and it said my scraggy end is
behind billboard if you want to use it .its in good condition not had much requirement for it lately.but know you like a bit. My ho picked the note up and said what this and gave me a funny look.

Theses conkers. For putting off spiders.Do you put them doon whole or take the nut out of the shell?

That was funny Sheila,no wonder you got a funny look from your OH lol

Well I think it may be a day spent outside.I know Chris is going to be sorting out the base for his new greenhouse.

Morning all,
What a day yesterday, rained all day here, and cold with it. We never ventured out.

Had a SKYPE last night from Rutland Son. They are in St. Vincent in the Carribean. They had the web cam on, and showed us around the apartment and outside round the swimming pool. They said it's very hot and humid as they had had raid in the morning. They are 5 hours behind us. They are there for two weeks business/holiday.

Home alone again, Going to get the rest of the bulbs in this morning,while I've got the nice weather. It's going to rain again this afternoon, So they say !!!!

Hope your OH is comfortable Mel, and Mum continues to take a little food. I think you wrote a bit of Scottish "DOON"

Jane, What a good idea, to take the SOAP to the shelter, they could all have a good wash. !!!!

Well I am done for the day. Cleaned out chickens, picked another load of tomatoes and put loads of bulbs in planters and flower beds. Want to do more, but I had to pack up as I strarted to totter a bit, so am taking all your advice, to do a bit and leave a bit. Going to get myself something to eat. I'll pass on the SOAP !!!!

Afternoon all,
What a lovely sunny day we have here ,got the back door open and its quite warm .
Sheila , liked the story about the scraggy end lol

Mel, hope mums still taking a little food and your looking after yourself !! hows OH's leg today , can he put his foot to the floor or is it to painful ?

Suppose your having soup for your lunch today then Jane lol and tomorrow and the next day by the sound of things LOL

Your garden will look a picture Frank when all your bulbs flower , and how lovely to see where your family are staying , now i bet you wish you were there too!!

We off out tonight for a meal with my sister and her hubby ,its hubby's birthday on Monday and son and DIL will be round with the little ones for tea on Monday so we thought we'd go out tonight .
Chelsea asked if Grandad was having a cake with candles on ,i said yes he's having a cake but no candles on as there will be to many for him to blow out !! she said thats ok Nanny i have plenty of energy to blow them out look !! and she gave a great big blow bless her ,and lots of spit too !!!!!!!

Well , i've just been hunting through my wardrobes for the last hour for something to wear for tonight , might be trousers !! or might be a skirt !! laid both out on the bed .
Why is it i have nothing to wear !!!!!!

Frank,you wouldn't like to come and clean out next doors chickens would you?
Luckily the henhouse and run are at the bottom of our garden just the other side of the fence.It is stinking!!!!!
I'm pleased you are being good and taking a break.I don't think Ros would be too impressed to get home and find you had been in trouble AGAIN lol

Mandy how on earth did you guess what we would be eating for the next few days ? lolol.I have a feeling things could get a bit Windy around here.!!!!!! If you get my drift.Plus Chris wants sprouts tomorrow with his roast.
Enjoy your meal tonight and wish your OH a Happy Birthday for Monday.I may forget by then lol.

Nip out quick Mandy and buy something new lol

Oh Shirl, sorry to hear your news come back when you can , thinking of you xx

OMG Jane ,what ever do you mean buying Sprouts after making soup !!! lol

Oh Shirl what a worry for you.I hope your son gets what ever treatment he needs and that he is soon on the mend.He is so far away from you !

Lol Mandy I may be sleeping in the spare room soon !!!!!!

We want none of your drifts here Jane.

Frank it was David who put Doon first and I followed suit.

Shirl so sorry to hear the news about son. I do hope there is something that can be done.

Frank Jane did'nt buy the sprouts. I think Chris did!!! Jane probably knows better from experience.

Mel I am guilty .......it was me who bought the sprouts for Chris.I must be mad,as I know the effect they will have lol.
Hannah has just got back from London and is now getting ready to go and meet some friends from work in Northampton tonight.......Guess what she is going to have to eat in a minute????????Yep my soap /soup .She said she could always take some to work and heat it in the microwave.
How is Mum today?
