*slides some over to peanut*

on a totally chocolate related note; cadburys have replaced the hazel nuts in a fruit and nut bar with Almonds... when did that happen?

*nibbles some *

not overly keen on milk chocolate or raisons

it has almonds in now and not hazels? I do quite like almonds

I haven't got over the sell off of rowntree, bournville, and cadbury

*hands over raisons to Charlie...*

Are the nappies all over?

*looks bit guilty for feeding Charlie raisons*

How is summer treating you all?

cordial and ice cream?

joe made coolaid because he got some from his brother who lives in america... vile stuff,

I am baking a chocolate cake (or planning to) later today - there may also be carrot cake

but only if i can find the currents

it's been very wet the last few days I do hope it gets better before the holidays start

Despite not having a sweet tooth I have had a hankering for chocolate cake today, with a cup of coffee

I hope the weather picks up for you, it looks like we are going to get lucky next week as the forecast is good, we are off for a short stay in the woods.

We got a caravan on a late deal and looks like perfect camping weather Not that I am complaining, a caravan makes packing less of a faff

your whistle made me laugh, not sure how me plays out in context

I didn't think it went too badly

just a quick hello, as my bum is going numb, I am sitting outside a closed reception hooking up to a public network.

Back home on Friday, so will catch up then

I hope you enjoy the sun, cor blimey, we don't see it for years then heat wave

Hi there

How is the summer holiday going

I think I could do with a holiday at the end of these holidays...

You just get over the summer holidays and before you know it, it is October half term

don't remind me,
next you'll be telling me christmas is coming
we're off to scotland not this week but next for a few days,
something tells me the sunshine wont last

well I did think that about Christmas but didn't dare say it I was too scared of your throwing arm

I hope you have a good time in Scotland

Got lovely crop of cherries this year, still small but enough to make a cherry brandy and a couple of crumbles and share with the birds.

They were juicy, lovely purple and vivid red juice and sour, not what you expected when you popped one in your mouth, even the ones that were so ripe that if they had been any more ripe they would have been mouldy.

Not unpleasant if you like cherry sour. Still great for liquor, crumbles and the like

been picking the currants
so far we've made three jars of blackcurrant jam, two blackcurrant pies
and a jar of redcurrant jam (with no bits)

oo, the currants did well then, who doesn't like bits?

I haven't made the crumble yet but am going to Mums for lunch tomorrow so will do it for a pudding I think.

I am also giving a computer tutorial so I think that is fair dos for my pork chop and

How are you all?

Hello Anthea

I hope you have had a lovely holiday with time to put you feet up occasionally <biggrin

Wishing you, Joe, and Bear all the best for 2014

although bear has an arm in a cast till next week
and I've not written those essays yet


I hope you and your families had a wonderful christmas and will have a brilliant new year

So glad you made it in good spirits and

Is it back to school for all of you next week

how is bear managing his cast, can't wait to get it off now?

yes back to school for everyone next week
bear manages his cast as if his arm has been weaponised....
and we are all targets...

Spiller broke one of his casts when he was a lad, using it as a cricket bat
