Hi, Pennineman! Whereabouts do you live? (if you don't mind me asking). We spent a year a couple of years ago on the Yorkshire/Lancashire Border (in the hills outside of Hebden Bridge) and we loved it so much, it is so beautiful up there.

Hi gingin

Not a million miles away from Hebden Bridge, just over the hills in Rossendale. And, it's not bad living here, 'tho Hebden Bridge might just pip us I think . . . .

Five mins walk away is this . . . .

Hi embb, welcome to os, please stay!!!!

I wanted to post a picture of where I live now as a comparison but my the only picture I have of my backyard is with my son with no shirt on so not really appropriate. Let's just say it couldn't be more of a difference from the pennines (think postage stamp!), it was very painful to leave to say the least and I too would give my right arm to be back there too!

You dont have to thank everyone, unless you want to. Some people like to say thanks as a way of saying, 'i have read your post', some are thanking for a name check or a comment they appriciate. Its up to you!!!!

snowy/catowen - They have got the Morphy Richards Slowcooker at Robert Dias on offer at the moment - dont know if that helps you?

Thanks for the tip Shez...I've had a look at the Robert Dyas website and quickly found the offer you mentioned. Unfortunately they have no stores over here in N.Ireland (I used to use them quite a lot when I lived in London so know them to be good) but was shocked to discover that the cheapest delivery to N.Ireland is £14.95 while mainland Britain addresses are charged only £4.95 for the same service!!! That rather takes the tarnish off their good deals. I won't be using them again especially since other stores eg John Lewis who don't exist here either can deliver to N.Ireland at the same price as to addresses in GB!

PennineMan...my Henry did the same as your Henry, ie he just walked in one day and decided not to leave. He was a starving stray though and I didn't have the heart to put him out. While he was initially afraid and very defensive he eventually settled down into a big cuddly softee who liked to be picked up and to snore all day long...he really was a beauty...
