Afternoon All,

Hardly a firework around here last night too, but quite smoky.

Belated happy birthday to MR MEL !! Hope he had a nice day. You beat me to it Mandy with the cake.......I had copied it as well. lol, lol Very good isn't it, Sounds like you had a nice evening.........poor Toby, I could just picture him, just like me when I have to go in some bushes, looking all around in a panic! I recorded that Turn Back Time programme too, it is very good.

We watched a fascinating programme we had recorded about birds and feeding them last night. I don't know if anyone else saw it, but it was full of interesting facts like the feeding of wild birds didn't really happen before victorian times and during WW1 was legally banned as it was considered wasteful of food. I never realised collared doves only arrived here in the 50s. I think there are 2 more programmes to follow.

Well done FRANK!!!! It looks very nice along your canal. I suppose you see quite a few boats along there. There'll be no stopping you now, but watch your footing. I have a habit of walking while peering through the camera.....not a good idea!!

Thanks for the photo's Frank ,what a lovely walk that must be ,looked a nice sunny day when you went with all the autumn colours on the trees .
Would be nice in the summer too ,just sitting watching the boats go by .

Ann, i copied the cake the other day , i thought it was good too.

The programme was good ,liked the bit were they went to the pub and burnt the pork pies !! the bread looked better once they were given the white flour ,looking forward to the next one .

Lovely clear sky here ,but quite nippy out there now

I saw that program too. I did mentionit on the thread.

Frank where are my photos please????????????

Been cleaning out the draws of mums dressing table and OH has glossed the window sills and skirting boards and door backings to the wardrobes. We thought we had a new tin of white paint but it turned out to be called Linen white. We tried it on the sills and it did'nt look too bad so he has used that. Saved going back out to Barnstaple for another tin.

Sorry, Auntie Mel. Will try and send them now.

Thanks

Oh Frank what lovely colours in those trees.

Thankyou Mel

Just done a load of apples from the garden and cooking them with some blackberries from the freezer. Now going to do a crumble mix to go on top. I have some nice Devon cream to go with it but don't know what to cook for the main course!!!!

OH's big screen for his pooter went kerput today again. He has pinched the kitchen telly so Iv'e no telly in the kitchen at the mo. He will probably put it back later as he says it's no good for the pooter as the picture is all fuzzy. He is watching motor racing but I think he has fallen asleep!!

I would have crumble for first course and crumble for second course lol
When you say Devon cream,do you mean Clotted ?

Who's a clever boy then.!!!! Neveeer thought I would get there. I now have 100s of photo's that I can call up. Do you want to see them all???? I just hope I can remember how I did it next time.
Did anyone see the new single from SUBO at 6.55pm. The sceanery was great. The Scodtish Highlands I wouls imagine. The song was very good ALSO. I would think it will be a big seller.

No CRABS again today. I'll have to go and buy one, and I won't share it with you Mandy.!!!!

My programme is starting, so will look on Ebay for a while, BBL

Its got to be clotted cream !!! its the best !!

I don't want your crab Frank ....i can go to the coast and get one when ever i want .....so there !!! lolol

I'd love to see more photo's please Frank .

Cor nippy outside now Brrrrrrrrr

Evening all
I was not in the mood for church this morning, so went for a walk OH thinks it's about 5 miles around our local Park, acutally it's a loch, STRATHCLYDE PARK. , The weather was lovely, bright and cold and occasionally windy but we were well wraped up. lots of walkers out and runners and people on Bikes and a lot of people with dogs, enjoyed the walk but I was very tired and my legs ached by the time we got back to the car.
took a few photos will e-mail them.
Frank your photo's were lovely , the trees looked great and so peaceful down by the canal.

I miss the real good old clotted cream Mandy.I used to have some sent up by post from Plymouth every Xmas,because I could never get any decent C Cream here.
Have the XF on now and just waiting for the last Downton Abbey.What will be on in it's place I wonder.
Sheila has not been about.I wonder if she has maybe gone to Wales for the weekend.

We've got XF on too ,yes last one of Downton, next week its the Jungle ,i wonder who will be on and eating all the bugs yuk!!!!

I had a run out to Blyth this morning to visit the launderette while Ellen was cooking.
From there I went to Guidepost to buy some newspapers and a lof and a bottle of milk.
(Guidepost is between Bedlington and Ashington)

While I was shopping in one shop 2 youths stabbed a man to death in the nearby Co-op

Several police in attendance almost immediadley.
The whole area cordoned off.

Driving home a car and van collided on a bend in the road ahead me at the rear of Plessey Woods.

Thats terrible David ,it seems to be all you hear these days on the news ,stabbings and robbery's ,was any one hurt in the accident ?

I didn't stop to find out Amanda.
T'was enough one dead man in the Co-op

I should think you were glad to get home David , must have shaken you up a bit with it happening so close to where you were shopping .

What a horrible thing to happen David. Glad you were not in the same shop as the stabing and not envolved in the road accident,

Having problems with sending my e-mail of my walk will try again tomorrow.

I am off to bed now , OH will be up early as he is catching a flight to Geneva tomorrow he will be there for 2 nights,
sleep well every one.
night night

Thank heavens you weren't in the Co -op David.Such senseless violence makes my blood boil,and then that accident.I bet you will be glad when today is over.
