Well done Shen and daughter,had a nice suprise,got back from the plots to find son was organizing a BBQ,i had nothing to do only eat,mad such a change..

[Sheneval]

I have made amends for stealing her thunder by taking family out for a meal and as daughter was driving I was able to indulge myself and a deep desire for fluid by imbibing numerous pints of lager - my youngest reminded me that this was not the best of ideas by saying you're drunk from time to time and refusing to accept my explanation that that smell of alcohol did not necessarily mean drunkenness - think he remains unconvinced - hic

Hazel did you need a cake tester ? because its my turn to be front of the queue this time.

Too late Bren been there done that

Oh! The cake looks good too!

It even retained it's looks for the 50ish mile journey under the scooter saddle .....


Mrs.BB described it as "nom, nom, nom-eliceous with an extra helping of nom"

After looking around the Peaks I came home "the pretty way" stopping off to meet Hazel (+ mum) at her allotment Had a very pleasant couple of hours nattering, looking at her plot & her entries into the competition (plus the obligatory swift drink )

I've had a great day!

Details in a bit - I'm just back from a run (so there, BB!) and I think a bath is called for. Then slice of PRIZE WINNING carrot cake!!

Beautiful morning here, just watching the sun come up over the sea.....stunning

Fancy buying a prize winning carrot cake Hazel, your one looked very nice so could have saved a few squid


Seriously, Well done Hazel

Morning all, looks like it's gonna be a lovely day today lovely bright sky already. I'm feeling a little jaded from my night out last night but a lazy breakfast will sort that out.
Coffee anyone?

[Bren In Pots]

Morning Looks like no sunshine for me today never mind my only garden job today is to turn the compost bins.

Congrats to Shen and Hazel plus BB for getting a share of cake

Morning all. Going to allotment today to do some digging with my mom, dad and kids. Got a path to dig up and a load of weeding to do. Then bread making this afternoon and the usual tidying up. Will be glad when the kids are back at school.
So a busy ahead.
Have a good day everyone

Good morning and it really is...beautiful sunny morning, the second in a row! Tidied up all my toms in pots yesterday, not much in the way of fruit on them yet but did enjoy a couple of juicy raspberries. Housework this morning and then maybe a lazy afternoon in the garden! Hope you all have a lovely day.

Congrats Shen and Hazel, well done to you both!

[Nannysally99]

Morning all, the sun is shining. Love it when you open the curtains to a sunny day
Ate some of the scabby spuds last night. They tasted ok. In fact they tasted like Charlottes left too long.
I must have got two labels mixed up at the beginning lol
Another lesson learnt for next year.
Have a great day all,
Congrats to our winners
I made a nice fruit cake yesterday to take for the volunteers this afternoon, bet they'd prefer Hazels

The vines very own "Hairy Biker"

Morning all - grey here too, but warm enough. I have been up for ages and am just about to put out my first load of washing! Yay. Today I shall be at the plot to pick more courgettes ... I have found the absolutely BEST recipe for courgette fritters - even BiL who is a beef farmer and confirmed carnivore was eating them and said "Sue, you have found a way of making courgettes tasty!" Jobs to do and house to clean, lawns to mow after being away on and off for the past 4 days. Enjoy your Monday.

[lottie dolly]

Good morning,well done Hazel,maybe that fritter recipe will be along shorty,we got dry and sun again,so no prizes for guessing where i am off to when i wake up,BB your welcome to our neck of the woods,as is anyone else,plus safe parking for scooter,have a good day all

Well done Hazel

Good morning,
The sun is out here. But not sure for how long as there are grey clouds appearing in the sky. Just finished my morning round. Going to go out in a bit with my friend to have a look around a shop that sells fresh food. I need some coriander to go with tea tonight(Chicken curry). When I try to grow it, it dies

Has anyone ever done chicken curry in a slow cooker?
