It doesn't bear thinking about - for anybody involved. My heart goes out to those left behind.

Well, it snowed plenty here last evening and when I was up in the night it was still snowing and still this morning when I got up! I reckon we have about 5" now.Then around lunch time some sun came out and the top layer melted so everything was covered with a nice layer of wet slush. Then the...

Thats interesting Dasiees. I live in the next village to Chopper & like he said, we've only got a few petrol stations (one of which is thatched !) & it did list all of our local ones. Maybe not all of them provide the info to the site. If they were cheaper, might be worth their while.

The Thirty-Minute Meals were a subject on a recent Watchdog programme when people wrote in to say they couldn't make the meals in that amount of time. Tests were set up and most folk took nearer an hour to make them. I expect that is because, when Jamie O makes the meals, he has the veg and...

What are you doing on here at this point in your birthday Alice ? Would have thought Hubby, toenail or not, would be whisking you out for a nice bottle of red wine & at least a fennel au gratain.?

Nice bit of history on a far away place. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Ziggy, a very enjoyable moment.

Hmmm, not sure he's that well behaved, I didn't know the police had them too!!!!

Thats a long time since I heard that, what a memory you have Ziggy! Really made me laugh and unfortuately reminded me of some silly risks I've taken (and not always got away with :o)

Don't worry about the newspaper Ziggy, only if you can find it.Out in the garden I've found 100s of old clay tobacco pipe pieces in the topsoil. I'm sure you know what they are Ziggy, the Victorian and earlier farm workers used them to smoke, they were mass produced and when they broke...

:hehe::hehe: Ouch!!!

I'll drink to that ! Then again, I'll drink to anything Cheers, To Saint Andrew.:pala:

Blimey, is one of them the roundabout by the supermarket ? Where it gets on to the road that runs round the reed beds, to the gasomitter ?

Thanks for that Chris. Couldn't get our cars up the drive yesterday, but that's not too unusual around here, it only needs a few inches and freezing temperatures to create the pack ice. It's also snowing again with us, looks like I might be having another 'holiday' tommorow at home.
