I've just been thinking of making sausage rolls Lottie. Were going to a bonfire party at my middle GGs tomorrow, I might take her some. I've already made Parkin and some chocolate orange muffins that I've over and look like bonfires.

just been looking through my old recipes,wow i found things i forgot i had,i have left out the tea bread one,i have to another of those,been a few years,the rolls i did the other week i relented and used ready made pastry,but i prefere do do my own using a rough puff,reminder,to put lard on my growing shopping list,maybe think about a bit sweet mince for a few pies,have a lovely time at the party FF,i realy miss having family time like years ago,doing all these things,a lot of the time it not seem worth the bother just for me,as i end up eating the cake,and give the rolls out if i have visitors,am sure they will not go to waste,my cooking never does,my fires are just starting to burn again

All this talk of sausage rolls... I'm doomed!

Morning all.

Still raining... But the end is apparently in sight.

Had a lovely evening yesterday. The fire in the bedroom was really nice and in fact, as we left the door open, took the chill off the whole house more than we expected.

More tidying today and a bit of paid work in readiness for Monday, as I haven't got a lot done these last few days.

Mr Snoop is proposing I make a loaf of bread. My first in getting on for six months. Wonder if I can remember how to do it. I need some snacks tomorrow, so might see if I can get some pizza dough going too for mini pizzas. Feels very cold here for bread dough though. Unless of course I light the fire in the bedroom again.

Have a great day, everyone.

Morning

I do like the sound of a bedroom fire Snoop, our upstairs fireplaces were blocked off years ago and the chimneystacks taken down. It must make the bedroom very cosy.

More gardening today I'm making the most of the council green bin there won't be many collections until next year.

enjoy your day.

Good Morning All Cloudy here. I'm looking forward to this evening, but have some doubts that Himself will come with me. We'll see. Have a good day

Mornin n’alln’all

Oooo….a fire in the bedroom sounds absolutely lovely!
We once stayed in a hotel which had a peat burning fire in the bedroom- so cosy

We’re off to the vets shortly- Hibou is pretty ill. Started yesterday. We think she may have eaten something ‘off’ as she has previously done, but she’s not bouncing back. Can’t be too careful. Fingers crossed it’s something easily treated.

Enjoy your party tonight Fl

Enjoy your day peeps - whatever you get up to.
