Then we bui...

I feel quite proud of myself as this didn't freak me out in any way, shape or form! I've never eaten the head of anything and even though I do like my offal, I think the head would be a step beyond my foodie comfort zone - unless I was really hungry or I could smell it cooking :lol: .

Isn't it funny how the whole place grinds to a standstill for a few inches of snow...

Darn - missed it

We saw her a couple of years ago at Althorp and she was wonderful live. Very, very shy and unsure of herself when she's not actually singing though.
