Mmm, sounds lovely!

And by coincidence, I made (and ate ) leek, mushroom and chicken soup for lunch.

It's taken an age to re-find this recipe - sorry :oops: Better late than never though :wink: 1lb dried apricots 3 pints water juice of 1 lemon 3 lbs sugar Soak the apricots in the water for 24hrs - DO NOT DISCARD THE WATER!. Transfer to a large pan and add the lemon juice. Bring to the boil and then...

I'd like Israel Kamakawiwoole's 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow/It's A Wonderful Life' playing at my funeral. Somewhat bizarrely, it's also the music we chose for our youngest's naming ceremony

Well said Paddy's Mum.

I feel awful saying it, but I'm glad it's not just me

The lamb sounds lovely too.

And I do buy odd packs of bed mats for the occasional night time accident

I feel even worse now.

Are you sure you mean squirm inducing Martin?

I'm afraid the trailers were enough to put me off

I love the kind of life we've chosen to lead - fairly 'normal' but with a close eye being cast on the 'bigger' issues, knowing where my food comes from, caring about it, growing it, feeling 'close' to the world around me. But. I was thinking earlier (I do sometimes), what it's like to do simply do t...

It's very windy here. Had a bit of a close shave earlier too. I picked up Xan from nursery at lunchtime and was putting him in the car when a tile fell off the roof of the house behind us :shock: . It missed us by about 8 inches and hit the bumper of the car. Not much damage thankfully, and at least...

Good news about the server - I'm sure we're all big enough and ugly enough can all cope with a bit of buggeration from time to time though :->.

I'll await the BIG announcement with anticipation - I wonder what it could be LOL

I was having a bit of fun with youngest DS and we were playing with the fruit on the fruit bowl. I picked up a lemon and he said, "we get lemon juice if we squeeze a lemon". I picked up an orange, "And orange juice from oranges", he piped up. For a bit of fun I picked him up, squ...

I'm not really a sports fan - with the exception of strong man competitions :oops: It's bizarre, but for the one week a year it's on terrestrial TV, (usually around New Year), I am completely hooked. I scream at the TV, will on the English/British contenders to win and generally turn into a bit of a...

I'm trying to relearn how to knit this evening - I sure know how to live it up on a Saturday night

There's always something new to learn isn't there! :lol: I'd never heard of resource guarding before. My parents have a somewhat 'wild' garden (dad's not a gardener - bless him) which they quite like as it encourages lots of birdlife. They have 2 resident pairs of blackbirds that have been nesting t...
