Morning all
Back to weather reality with a bang ..Cool, grey and windy.
Hoping to sow some seeds at some point.
Anyone doing anything exciting?

Kettle has boiled if anyone fancies a brew with me.

Good morning all.

Despite a couple of hiccups, a better night's sleep than normal. The car was white over with frost at 6am, but it's gone now and the sun is shining. Snow has disappeared from my local forecast for this week.

I am so happy with the raspberry jam that I'm considering buying some frozen cherries at some point and making some cherry jam. The joy of using frozen cherries would be that they are already de-stoned. Whenever I have de-stoned cherries I have had to so it outdoors in old clothes, and afterwards it looks as if there has been a bloodbath. Also the offer of buy three bags of frozen fruit (mix and match) and get the cheapest one free is on until September, and I can't resist a bargain.

I've really been fancying some fresh crab recently and had even spotted a recipe for crab and saffron risotto online. The only good local fishmonger, where I might get one, is a mobile one who sets his van up in a nearby small town on a Thursday morning. Mr GF has a podiatry appointment not too far away this Thursday.

Time for more coffee now.

It's good to hear that you're starting to feel better and more optimistic, LD.

Mornin n’alln’all
Thought I’d posted earlier!

We have the dull and rain bits today…but no wind at least

A bbq?..wow CG…How lovely!

No set plans today. Got some basic domestics to get out of the way, then we’ll see. Certainly I need to bring wood in for the fire.

Lottie- it’s great to hear you more chirpy again…raspy and chirpy maybe

Wiggle on time…enjoy your day peeps!

Morning

Not as sunny and warm as the last few days but its better that the rain they predicted yesterday.

Nothing exciting here CG, like you I'll probably be seed sowing.

Enjoy your day
