the morning after dublin we had a call from my god daughter she was home with her brothers and could not get hold of her dad, the nanny / housekeeper had vanished. luckily oh was home so we went over, an hour away a very remote hill farm, to cut a long story short, the nanny had been ripping them of ( several thousand pounds ) and waited until his parents were in new zealand visiting family and he was at market with cattle, and her and his farm hand who both lived there had done a runner, leaving 8 year old twins and 12 year old on their own :eek: She had been there for 4 years since his wife died of cancer and was like a member of the family, His parents live next door but as they are away there was no one there to help so we stepped in or he would have been running the farm and looking after the children on his own, so have stayed there but no mobile connection and he has no internet:eek:, It was nice to see last week when he had vet down for tb testing on cattle and to chip and passport the mountain foals, several locals turned up to help as they had heard what had happened and he had lost the farm hand and his dad was not back. and several of the ladys brought pots of food up was very touching.

being a true elite;) god daughter wants to learn to cook so she can help out more, the first thing I taught her was jacket potatoes with different toppings, as they have acres of spuds, she was well chuffed espeacily when her brothers loved the tuna ones and cheesy beans ,

Hi Everyone

Back from Yorkshire. Had a lovely relaxing break camping with 37 friends and family :eek:

Could have cried when I passed a Fultons - none down south near me :rotfl:

Got to get DD2 an Ipad for school. Should I go for the mini or the full size one? Her dad thinks it should be the bigger one as easier to use but she is leaning more to the mini as easier to carry around. Any advice welcome
