^^^^^you can always throw one my way Bren

[Hazel at the Hill]

- however I appreciate some of those from softer climates can't put up with anything less than 70deg :-)

I am happy to put my hand up as being a southern softie.

Afternoon nothing done outdoors today only digging up parsnips and some leeks to go in the pheasant stew. Plus I've made some banana buns just to fill the oven suppose I'll have to eat them now

Nice that some of us still have some parsnips to dig up - I dug up The Parsnip of 2014 and had it in an Irish stew a couple of weeks ago, and the tiny leeks were all eaten up ages ago . Can I keep a banana bun for later? I'm still full of Dotty's banana and walnut loaf.

[Hazel at the Hill]

Bum. I've just remembered that I'm supposed to be running the January sales invoices this weekend. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Oh well, better get on with it.

[Bren In Pots]

Not that much of the weekend left Hazel so I'm glad its not me who has to work on them

[veggiechicken]

Evening All. I've been shopping for a few essentials as I will be trapped in the house until Wednesday The road outside the house is being resurfaced so the car has to stay on the drive. I can't easily walk out either because there are no pavements, just narrow grass verges right up to the hedges.
My escape route is either climb out over the back fence into the fields and go crosscountry or, out of my front gate, into my neighbour's front gate, across his garden, out of his other gate, into his neighbour's front garden, out of their other gate etc until I reach a house with a pavement outside it.
Should be entertaining

VC - just as well you don't come from softer climes or you'd be trapped there for weeks :-)

Sounds like when The OH "forgot" I was with him while in Fuerteventura (in our 20's, avoiding work while windsurfing for 6months ) we were renting a one roomed apartment with a bathroom. I went for a shower, meanwhile OH spotted the wind come in and BANG! He was gone! Locked me in with the only key! I had to get out the back door, scale several walls, creep through gardens until I got on the road.
Stormed to the beach to find him putting his kit back in the car cos he'd suddenly remembered me!! Boy, did he pay for that!

[Dorothy rouse]

Oh dear Hazel, I just had another slice, that's what the cold weather does for you, well me, makes you eat more!

Maybe I'll go and dig tomorrow !

[Florence Fennel]

Morning All

Cold and frosty this morning, so glad I dont work no more. Hopefully it will warm a tad when the sun gets higher

[Jay22]

Morning all, dull but cold here! Hope you are not stuck in too long VC.

[Bren In Pots]

Morning, its dry out but very cold so I'll stay indoors and eat cake along with Dotty

[Nannysally99]

Dry but cold here too, cake in the oven by 8.45 am, prepped it last night. This is a world record for me peeps.
Can you see a pattern emerging with cake?
Charity shop work this afternoon and have earmarked my GYO to study later before the March one appears

[noviceveggrower]

Morning all. Very cold here takes your breath away. Had a frost but not as bad as predicted.
So kids are at school, OH is at work and I am sat down with a cuppa to get warm. Going to get the washing out and into the tumbler then do some cleaning again.
Have a good day everyone.
