    Am I being snobby about peelings? Don't they have all the dirt ingrained into them, as well as all the chemicals (the non organic ones, anyway??). Apologies if I'm being paranoid - or too serious, for that matter, home made soup sounds lurvely anyway!

    it's a beautiful day here as well, sun is shinning and is drying some washing, and some more is in the machine.
    got a few things to do today so hoping to include some seed trays amongst it. I was planning to soak my sweet peas yesterday but the packet specifically says not to soak them so i'm not sure what to do.

    Waving to you all its a very very very windy day here so went out in the Darwin beast not the BRB - to a place called Birsay - it was difficult to walk outside at the cliffs today - we all had to link in cos it wasnt very safe - then the hail started - oh joy!!

    this is what the sea was kinda like today - http://www.flickr.com/photos/wildblood/2981864802/

    We all got soaked and OH had to come home in a purple fringed blanket worn like a sarong cos he was so wet - DS ended up in DD salopets as he was soaked too!!!!!!

    Off for a warm up with some meatballs and spaghetti and then a catch up later on the threads xxxx

    Waving to you all xx
