    We'll probably try to make it to the white horse near us or Avebury as we're only 20 mins down the road

    I went to Brownies in Avebury. Got sacked for going to sweetie shop instead of tracking:rotfl:

    Just had an email from the Dog-Sitting service. The elderly cocker spaniel, Honey, who was to come and stay with me in April went to the Summerlands at the weekend.:( I never got to meet her, but I'm sitting here crying.:(

    Hugs, honey.

    I think I caused the confusion Nixies Toffee is a beagle, my Toffee was a basset

    Was asking because Toffee looks like my friends Beagle, Jasper, who is a VERY naughty puppy, its a good job he is cute. I've emailed her a link to the pancake picture because I thought it was so funny. :D

    I'll have a thorntons thanks Pigpen.

    Sorry about the flowers AnW'sMum; the slate sounds like a good idea. I've got some Hebe cuttings on the go for NN Mum's grave because they needed something robust that didn't need much care but flowered and looked pretty, she admires them when they flower each year.

    Shroves, cooked and eaten, best yet - you can always rely on Delia.
