HAPPY NEW WEEK!
Last week's Chat thread is here.
Annette: I thought I'd go ahead and start this week's thread. I don't mind at all. When my next freelance project comes in, you (or someone else) can do it if you want to.
Everyone have a great week!
Yes, I be from Devon :-)
I am a Surrey fool..
My Dad a Hamshire hog..
My girls were Dorset bred thick in the head.. But so not !!
Good grief! I was born in Hertfordshire. What does that make me? :-)
Oi'm a silly Suffolk......ooooo arrrrrrrr!
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
Somerset born and Somerset bred,
Strong in the arm and weak in the head.
And you ended up in London? Somerset is a beautiful county, though Suffolk pips it.
Rosy: That saying seems to apply to Hertfordshire too (though I dispute it of course).
Diane – Thank you for the recipe. It sounds like those I like – ones that anything can be thrown in and nothing measured exactly.
Margo - Lovely to read Billie’s story again. You are one lucky lady (and she is too).
OG – Wishing you good health. Too bad your church hasn’t worked out. It was a change in Clare Valley to hear a sermon that made me think, rather than the fluffy wishy-washy jokey chats that seem to be the norm lately.
Rita – I was wondering how you and your new knee were getting on. I don’t think you are ready to move south. Your familiar shops, activities, friends are so important. You would be lost if you moved too soon. There’s my five-pennyworth, sticking my neck out!!!
Yesterday’s bus trip, my last until summer is over, was full of nostalgia as we travelled – here I went to school, there to church, that was our postal town, my sister lived near here, etc, etc. It was sad to see towns that were so busy when I was a child, now just sleepy hamlets. In Hamley Bridge a few locals buying their Sunday paper, in Riverton everyone must have been home eating lunch, a few cars passing through. The canola has finished flowering, that & the faba beans looking green & lush while the wheat & barley have dried off yellow in the month since we had our northern trip. Harvesting has started with some crops being cut for hay as they hasn’t been enough rain for the grain to develop.
AQ: I can imagine that your bus trip was bitter/sweet. Hope Nanny day aren't too challenging this week.
Out early tomorrow so will catch up in the evening.
Morning, all. I thought I should let you all know that Limpy's mother died early this morning. Many thanks for all of your kind thoughts.
