Mary this was meant to be a PM to you and I pressed the wrong thing ! I must be going dolally !

NanKate Sun 19-Aug-18 15:35:36

Hello Mary,

Eton Mess with raspberries and raspberry liqueur, 7th heaven I would think. It is DH’s favourite pud. ?

I have a little story about the place Eton which we visit regularly as it is in walking distance of Windsor.

Many years ago our Chris was one of about 15 children in the UK who won a 2 week stay at Eton College for an essay he had written. We were all very excited at this opportunity and arrived with all the other parents and children to settle our children in. We were directed to his bedroom and study. Now for the bad bit - it resembled a Victorian servant’s room with tatty wooden bed with little bedding on top. The wardrobe was a piece of torn dirty material in front of a metal rod. It could have been a prison cell it looked so dreadful.

I came away in tears that we had left him in such a place. We collected him 2 weeks later. He had had a brilliant time, as well as formal lessons they had a number of bbqs and parties. He loved every second. I must remind him to write about this in one of his books.

Hope Dr Kikdare has got you back on your feet?‍♀️

Love, Kate x

So grey and Autumnal here in the West Midlands, no sign of the sun breaking through.
I’ve just put a joint of pork into cook, having lots of veg and roast sweet potatoes plus managed to get some nice Bramley apples so fresh apple sauce,and not forgetting the sage and onion stuffing.
Apart from lunch and the clearing up that’s it for me today,
till Dragons Den this evening.

Good morning all.
Rather drizzly in my corner of Northumberland. DS is coming for lunch, as he does every Sunday, so we are having roast beef etc. I went to pick up my new spectacles yesterday. It hasn't taken very long to get used to them. Quite an improvement, and just in time for my holidays.

Morning all, grey and cloudy here in Letchworth at the moment.
Up bright and washing on the line. Plants watered and overnight my tomatoes have started to turn colour, ALL at the same time!!!! lol.
Really hoping 'the sun puts his hat on' a bit later as we have our funday at the bowls club this afternoon, about 50 people turning up.
I have been busy cutting up carrots, celery, peppers and cucumber for crudites to go with dips. Out in a while to help set up tables, chairs, gazebo etc for the afternoon and to set out the food for the buffet. We have ordered everything this year from our local supermarket (apart from the crudities) instead of the usual of those attending bringing a plate.We use to end up with lots of cakes and hardly any savouries. Praying we the committee have done the right thing this year. smile

Good morning to all.Having a lazy Sunday here with cooked brekkie, coffee and the papers ( sent DH off for themgrin as a treat for us, as we don’t usually read them.)
Grey, very windy but dry here for the day, so may go for a long walk by the river later on.

A late Good morning to you all.
Dull and drizzling in Buxton. We are off to Lyme House (NT) this morning and will then do some exploring around the area. Dinner out this evening.
Hope some of you find some sunshine !

Nana3 Sun 19-Aug-18 09:33:36

Good morning all. I'm still enjoying some sunshine in Lancashire, yesterday afternoon at the Southport Flower Show was glorious.
Stay at home day today.
Enjoy your Sunday everyone.

A late Good morning from a very cloudy grey NE coast. Still quite warm though.

No plans for today except to cook and eat dinner as some point, do a bit of housework, maybe have a little walk along the seafront.

Have a good Sunday everyone. x

Morning Mick. Morning All. Grey start in our corner of Somerset. Little enthusiasm today so a quiet one ahead. Hope Sunday is kind to everyone.

NannyJan53 Sun 19-Aug-18 09:00:54

Good Morning from a dull but still warm Black Country.

We had a BBQ last night (Makerel), and sat outside until 10pm! Maybe the last chance this summer?

No real plans today, so just go with the flow. Maybe a cycle ride this afternoon.

Happy Sunday everyone.

Grey and drizzly in South Wales. Up to do some ironing soon and looking forward to seeing my daughter later as she is home from a 17 day cruise. Busy week next week. WI trip tomorrow and then off to Dartmouth for a few days.

Greyduster Sun 19-Aug-18 08:44:01

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. Grey, breezy and cold in South Yorkshire. There are muttering about going for a walk, but I hope they are only mutterings. I don’t feel like it today. Roast chicken for lunch. Have a good day, folks.

Pittcity Sun 19-Aug-18 08:35:20

Good morning, grey and damp after overnight rain. It looks autumnal but actually the temperature is quite high.
A quiet day with the newspaper beckons.

Marydoll Sun 19-Aug-18 07:52:59

Brunette morning, grin

Marydoll Sun 19-Aug-18 07:52:33

Good morning Mick, Gaga and Nankate.

Raining at the moment, but due to brighten up at 10 am (I hope!)

I'm on my way out for the papers (my turn!) and then off to church.

Nankate I plan to make Eton Mess for dessert, with my own take on it, the addition of raspberries and raspberry liqueur. I have to be careful, as I could eat the whole dish of it in one sitting. grin.

Nankate, as usual we are in synch with our timings. smile.
Have a pleasant Sunday, all.

Brunette10 Sun 19-Aug-18 07:47:18

Good Morning to all. It is a horrible dank, dismal day here in NE Fife a day for the house I reckon. Won't be a quiet one though have our DGS again today. Reckon it will be quite a long day but it'll be fun hopefully. Hope everyone has a quiet, relaxing Sunday - enjoy!
