    I knew that I was using a £95 whisky (dregs of the bottle from Hogmanay & Burns), I just didn't know that he would take it so badly!

    I guess that the marmalade is NOT to be given away!

  • The marmalade is very good. Mr MWC is not best pleased though - I used an 18 year old single malt...

    Oh MWC, that's made me roar with laughter. I am sure the marmalade will be delicious x x x x x x

  • Dear MrMWC

    I think Scotland were mugged - not by Wales, but by the referee :( I hope he's not allowed to referee Six Nations again, until he has got a bit better at his craft :( An excellent game, which saw great play from both sides, along with silly mistakes on both sides. It just would have been nice to see what would have happened with a competent ref in charge.

    Nice to see JK Rowling enjoys watching the rugger :D

    Nice to see the good weather up in Edinburgh :D

    Thought of you yesterday MWC when I bought some eggs from a stand at the end of someones drive. The children have swimming lessons some distance away and we drive through a lovely village to get there. Have stopped a couple of times now and I like that the children realise we can buy things locally. £1 for 6 too, what a bargain!

    :shhh::shhh::shhh: don't tell my customers!!!

    Greying - there were some mutterings about the ref from Mr MWC and FIL but they were more annoyed by the silly errors (oh and by my dad's ladyfriend who chatted throughout the second half...)

    Second batch of whisky marmalade made yesterday - this time with Glenmorangie ;)

  • What a beautiful day and there was still daylight when I left work at 17:30 :cool:

    The Vietnamese embassy has returned my passport complete with visa so I'm definitely going on holiday next month :j Not sure about Mr MWC as he hasn't completed the application form or had photos taken yet...

    £51.51 claimed from TCB :T
