    You'll not miss anything me dear - Mooomins looking after you but in future help yourself.

    It has been a happy start hasn't it.

    Don't tell DD I'm *supposed* to be missing her dreadfully.

    Wishing you sunshine and happiness too on your holibubs don't worry we'll be here waiting for you hopefully with a box of eggs in hand and perhaps even a tomato.

    :) I'd say a potato but lets face facts unless I 'borrow' some from a field - I won't have any here for a while.

    :)

    Off into the garden to pot up some more veg.

    Had sausages and mash for tea (both reduced of course :A)

    Stove being on (free wood) I also cooked tomorrows tea and extra sausages/mash for another day.

    All cleared up now and its dry so I'm off out to garden for a bit and then go for a walk with the muttlets.

    There's elderflowers to be collected in the local den which is a good five minute walk away.

    Supplies have lasted from last year (3 bottles left :eek:) so best get making eh?

    Laters dudes hope you all have a great weekend. What have you all got planned.

    I'm off to the local 'food fayre' in a coastal toon the morn. £3 to get in and all you can scoff from the tasting tables. That sounds lovely.

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Whatever you're up to have a good un!
