Soop's Kitchen Extension

Before I lose the plot, is anyone watching Poirot, who has just travelled up a mountain by train? I quickly Googled it and am wondering if this is the train/funicular that goes from Montreux, where Carol and I drove one day (and I learnt just how skilful she was at navigating hairpin bends). It looked rather familiar, and Google seems to be confirming this was the same place where this programme is filmed.

Oh help Soup. £5,000, in the bin!! Thank goodness you found it.

I've been in that doo dah area a few times and I can tell you, it's not somewhere you would want to visit too often

Please can I come and squeeze in as well, to feel united with all of you at this time is really comforting and it is so cosy here. I also raise a glass to Carol, her family and to all you wonderful people on Gransnet.

Yep, that's definitely the one we went up. What a coincidence! Carol would have been motivated to travel back there and get on that train if she'd been watching this. 'I'll just try it out and put it on the itinerary for when Anno visits!' she would be thinking.

Please may I come and sit quietly too? I'm only new here, and only read a few of Carol's posts, but I certainly got a crash course in the lovely lady this last ten days. I brought some local Apremont to drink to her with.

This is the right place to be right now.

Icyalittle it feels like we're getting to know you now - do stick around

icyalittle we have seen your name over the last few days, but it will be good to get to know you.

just thought I would pop in before bed for a quick sip then I shall be on my way..take care everyone and goodnight

Just popping in to raise another glass with the lovely people here. My ankles are freezing, so I've brought a hot water bottle.

when, I missed Poirot because I kept dropping off. You are right: Carol told me that we would go up on that mountain railway. It was always fun doing things with her that she hadn't done before - like going up in the cable car to the Aiguille du Midi on Mt Blanc, and discovering new places in the Aosta Valley. So many memories from knowing her for so short a time.

And now, since I am likely to drop off again, I will say goodnight. I hope everyone is able to sleep tonight.

Goodnight, anno

Such a sad day for many reasons, but I've popped in here to look for thatbags - she doesn't seem to have been about for a little while, has anyone heard from her?

l have just come back infor some more comfort and company. This seems the only warm place anywhere right now. I will raise a glass to Carol and to GN as well where I have met so many lovely caring people.

If any one else is awake in the night shall we re-invade Soop's kitchen?

Oh dear! I think the week is getting to me.

Gracesmum I am getting a bit worried about my grip on reality with regard to Soop's kitchen as well.

to Carol |Greatnan and Gransnet.

Grannylin Don't you just love inventing new words!
Just back from the AGM after which we had a bit of a celebration for about 80 people - am exhausted after playing waitress and clearing up. Now watching Above Suspicion in the hope it will send me to sleep for the second night
Such a sad day. Goodnight x

I too was wondering about thatbags, grannyactivist. I do hope she is ok. This news will have hit her hard, and we all deal with things in different ways. Take care thatbags, wherever you are.

I must be off to bed now as well. Early start for work tomorrow. Goodnight all

Just seen Carol again on Granada TV News. What an awful day it's been, and now her family have to make those arrangements we all want to just go away.

I think soop will have been in contact with bags

I have vague recollection thats she was off somewhere, but dont ask me where.

when

Just left this post in entirely the wrong thread - sorry.

bags leaving you some flapjacks and refreshment in case you nip in when we're not around.

Last one turn out the lights please?

Do you think we should leave the small lamp on for any late night visitors?

glass perhaps a candle in a saucer of water, for safety?

Good morning (bit of a late start) but coffee's on!
