Hi all!
Just been away for a couple of weeks (half holiday, half work) and got back to find I have 29 pages to catch up on!!! Not much work will be done this afternoon I suspect! Hope you're all enjoying the wonderful sunshine!

Bit warm at minute for it but you dont get much more English than a roast do you?

But did I imagine it or is Britains favourite food a curry?

Sorry not posted for a wee while, computer playing up big time.
