[Cadalot]

Morning Flo, have you got a hangover this morning? It's drizzling here as well, 12.5 in the greenhouse with the door open , have a great day people

[Florence Fennel]

Morning Cad Not hanging, no!

[Snoop Puss]

Morning, everyone. I'm feeling the worse for wear today. Tired, I think. And we did have a bit of wine yesterday...

Anyway, I've learnt something already today. About the bagworm moth. And I learnt it off Facebook. We have these little bags of bits of sticks about the place and I'd worked out they were moth larvae. And now I know what they're called and what the moth looks like. Fascinating

Mr Snoop has also been trying to educate me this morning, but I think the moth has filled up my capacity for new information today.

Have a good one, everyone.

Morning I'm sharing Cads and Flo's weather today would prefer sunshine though

Off to google bagworm moths..

[Nicos]

Mornin n'alln'all

Well, no more mice or voles for a midnight snack....but....I did wake up at sillyo'clock.fr to Hibou purring by my head.
I reached out to stroke her and touched something wet on my pillow

Nope...not dead wildlife, but, she'd hooked my herbal teabag out of my empty mug and plonked it next to me!
Sooo sweet...*wonders quite what she thought I'd do with it!

Damp misty start to the day here....if the rain holds off we're potting up window boxes and tubs today.

Have a great one Peeps.

*also wanders off to goooogle bagworm moth.....

Morning all dull here so far but believe it’s to brighten up later. Domestics and who knows what today.
Snoop is what you are making an English Muffin?
VC, did I miss something, noticed you are a mod again, have you looked out your pointy stick again?
Have a great day everyone!

[Thelma Sanders]

Cloudy and NE breeze so only 13C - which feels really cold after the last few days

So when I've drunk my coffee and my brain-fog clears It'll be fleece on and start plot strimming. Why does grass grow quicker than everything else?

Have a good'un

[Greenleaves]

Morning All

As Thelma says, feeling much fresher today....my poser is...why don't slugs and snails eat weeds? Would make my life so much easier!

Happy Tuesday all

[Snoop Puss]

Jay22, this is what a crumpet is:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crumpet

Nicos, don't look: they've got a lovely picture of one covered in melty butter (no marmite).

[rary]

Are you talking about Scotch pancakes, Rary? They're another teatime delight.

No Snoop a pancake is a pancake! a crumpet is quite similar mix but more runny no doubt what you are making will be as Jay said an English muffin which is not a proper crumpet with that I will duck out the way

[Jay22]

Yip Snoop we call yours an English Muffin...this is a crumpet with fruit that rary is talking about.



Whatever, they are both delish!!!

[Nicos]

Stop it!!!!!!!....*starts drooling......

You'll be talking about bacon and maple syrup next won't ya?

[bramble]

Good morning all.
No sun here either.
A dull start at just 14 deg.
I don't really mind as I have to go into town this morning.
Have a good day all.

[Thelma Sanders]

As far as I know, English muffins are made with dough, English crumpets are made with a batter. English muffins look more like flat-topped rolls and crumpets have lots of little holes on one side, muffins do not.

So ignoring muffins (the bread type or the cupcake type *drool*) that leaves us with - pancakes, crumpets, 'Scotch pancakes' or drop scones, pikelets and griddle cakes Have I forgotten any?
Locally different names for much the same recipe, with maybe slight variations in cooking method?

Anyway - they're all lovely and all this thinking about them has made me very hungry! So I've put bread in the toaster and got out the butter & jam
