Is he the chap that was on 'Great British' - the celebration of the WI version. Seem to recall he was heavily influenced by 1970's glam rockers and had a silver pinny? His food wasn't food, it was art....... But I'm not sure how he progressed in the programme - I didn't see all of it, but did catch bits where he was on.

Makes my HM 3 cheese pizza (cheddar, manchego and mozarella) look awfully tame....... :rotfl:

Greying 'glam rock' Pilgrim x :rotfl:

That's the chap! His fish dish went to the banquet. It tasted amazing :drool:

Mmm pizza - we weren't stuffed to bursting when we left the restaurant and needed a slice of toast for supper!

Oh well done him! His appearance (I was forever trying to work out what the tat on his arm said :think:) was in total contrast to how wonderfully down to earth he actually was. Clearly a very deep thinker - I seem to recall his interpretation of one dish was clever, just a little too cerebral for the chef judge...... His cooking was really a cut above his competitors though, no doubt. He was just on a different thought plane from the get-go.

What a wonderful way to celebrate your birthday MWC

Greying - not so much 'mullet barnet' as more 'morning hair bad hair day already' x :rotfl:

My new goal is to lose 7 pounds in the 7 weeks before I visit GG in Spain

Is it really only 7 weeks, crikey the time has flown

Sounds like a good challenge to me - I'll join you x x x

I hope you're doing better than me Tilly... I now need to lose 8 pounds in 6 weeks

Plan for today:

- 4.5 mile walk to neighbouring town to collect haggis from butcher
- 2 mile walk to supermarket for neeps, tatties and ingredients for a raspberry trifle
- 1 mile walk into town to pay in birthday cheques and collect big pot for cherry tree
- trip to garden centre for compost
- nap
- housework

That's a weird front page for a restaurant website, but a great one! I particularly like the cat in the space helmet

Hope you get that list done, lots of good gardeny things going on there

Plan for today:

- 4.5 mile walk to neighbouring town to collect haggis from butcher - done (it's huge!)
- 2 mile walk to supermarket for neeps, tatties and ingredients for a raspberry trifle - Mr MWC wimped out and drove!
- 1 mile walk into town to pay in birthday cheques and collect big pot for cherry tree - done, very pleased with the pot although it might be too big...
- trip to garden centre for compost - done (combined with trip to supermarket)
- nap - not yet!
- housework - soon... I need to make a start on the trifle first

Today is the first time I've seen the garden in daylight since last weekend... the cherry plum tree at the bottom of the back garden is in blossom

Sounds lie a lovely day mwc, hope you enjoyed, and yey to blossom!

HelenDaveKids

Hope everything got done.

Getting there HDK- no time for a nap though! I'll finish off in the morning

I've made the custard for the trifle - no lumps :T:j:rotfl:

Things to do tomorrow morning:

- Clean bathroom and downstairs loo
- Hoover and dust living room
- Move furniture so that we can get 2 tables in the living room
- Iron tartan tablecloths
- Buy bread
- Make crunchy flapjack-style toasted oats to scatter over the trifle
