  • Aw man between this thread and greyings I'm darn hungry with all the nspired food going on!!!

    Bonjour! Hoping you're all well and splendid!

    Hurtling towards aunty's hoose having had a most excellent holiday/honeymoon :-) DS is now back with his papa in france in one piece what a lovely lad for popping over to Join us and what fun we had.

    Yum - raclette cheese greying must see if lidls have any on my way northwards. :-) thank you most kindly for the heads up.

    Off to read more and see what you've all been upto.

    Week went well, our little baguette boy (ds) did us proud for the bread run in the morning to arm us with tasty baguettes for the slopes. Clever lad.

    Hugs all round off to see what you've been upto! Thanks for the good wishes and a peek not your Xmas dinners - really appreciate sharing!

    As for me - much tarteflette munched all week :D happy days.

    Oooopps - shoulda put the milk down before I started jumping all around :D

    Right, milk all popped away in the fridge, stove ready to be lit and the place all comfy for all your chums to pop by to hear of your adventurising.

    In the meantime, have a fab time at wik's hoose :D

  • Appreciate the milk, the light dusting and the biscuits greying ;-)

    In great news I managed to get decent train tickets AND managed to fathom how to get them too. You may laugh, I'm not use to such luxury as grains and did a woo hoo I've got tickets wee sing and dance to myself. Much to the amusement of my fellow rail goers who seemed very confident retreating their own tickets.

    It's magic I tell you magic. Snagged a coupe cheap tickets from hair port - much MSE cudos.

    Merck for the milk, hands greying a biscuit and a lump of cheese :-)

  • Hail Pippi and the stripey gang :hello:

    I'm not sure how you top 2013 for 'fantabulousness' but I sincerely hope that 2014 turns out to be brilliant for us all - but that it is truly special for 'Team Stripes' - let's raise an elderflower cordial or two to; new homes, new starts, new jobs and new flocks o' chooks :D

    Wishing Pipster, the RG, DS, DD and the 'dawgies' all health, wealth and happiness for 2014.

    See y'all in 2014 :D
