The (not so old) Crocks Cafe

Glad to know you're feeling better today. I will take you up on your kind offer, haven't had blackberry jam for years. x

Think of this cafe as being like Mr Ben's wardrobe - you step through the door and you can be anything you want to be, you can eat what you want without getting fat or sick can you think of a better place to be

Hi all,

I've been peeking in the window over the last few days, but not had the energy to push the door open up to now, let alone find words to introduce myself too! It certainly looks nice and friendly here and with winter looming (merged too closely with the last one IMO... where was summer??!!), I will hopefully come here regularly for warmth, virtual goodies and friendship.

I'm another person with ME/CFS/Fibro. I juggle it with low back problems (following major surgery...) and general osteoarthritis and nicely top it all off with hearing impairment (congenital and both ears affected) ...... and investigations are currently under way for eye sight issues.

I'm cold today so can I have a large hot chocolate with a lashing of brandy please? It was so nice outside yesterday that I managed to pot up a few winter pots with cyclamens and violas so I should get some colour in the garden.

Frogspawn - yeuk, I remember it from school, I can almost taste its globular consistency:eek:

Hi Bluedog and welcome to the old crocks cafe - pull up a chair and have one our speciality hot chocolates. I know what you mean - we haven't had a summer, I have a windowbox with two cheap (they cost me a quid) geraniums in, they have been flowering none stop since June, I don't have the heart to pot them up and put them into my tiny plastic zip up greenhouse. Mind you, I have been talking snow today with a company that makes fake stuff - they provide fake snow for hollywood blockbusters and even that film Band of Brothers.

Rob - sorry for slow service today, I am dashing about like a mad thing - sorry we don't serve slimming anything in here although I can nip around to Tesco if you really want something slimming.

globular consistency - yep - that's the one ....

Hello fellow Crocks.

I'm late today, been busy making bread rolls and sultana and spice buns. Plenty for all.:p

Summer? That was from 2 to 4 in the afternoon of the third Tuesday in August, wasn't it? :rotfl:

Any chance of a large black coffee? I need the caffeine!
