Here are a couple of more photos from the farm shop yesterday.....Mainsgill....close to Scitch Corner..... Where the camels live:rotfl:

Fabulous for foodies but prices are sky high. I was drooling. Lots of tasty cheeses and sausages to try and a wonderful cafe too. Worth a drive out:)
At the back of the shop is a huge window ....my photo isn't brilliant...which frames the excellent view.

I jar them either as pie filling or in slices in syrup.both heat sealed as never have enough room in freezer.then if we fancy something can either make pie or crumble or have slices with icecream. Etc.
Apple sauce is another one i jar.
Any good ones wrap in newspaper and store in box

Content warning: Don't read if problem with being set off by these things.

Didn't used to have any problem with seeing asterisks so it's all very strange - but obviously as a result of what I went through. There is someone who has a bad reaction to a certain shade of the colour blue because that relates to something bad for them (perhaps the colour of a car that collided into them I don't know). So many different things, for a reason but totally irrational and illogical (except the "logic" is obviously they had that experience so it is related to that). I suppose it helps provide greater understanding of (complex) post-traumatic stress and, as medics learn more, that can't be too much of a bad thing.

Another post of the type that people post here for emotional support reasons - though I don't need replies of support on this occasion (though equally I wouldn't object to anything like that being provided unsolicited - so, above all, please don't assume I'll be upset by something when I wouldn't necessarily be). Thanks whatever for reading. (To be fair, I don't normally find asterisks set off more than a bit of annoyance - on some occasions but not others and totally haphazardly - it's more audio that sometimes sets me off* - I'm trying to avoid that delightful word "trigger" lol:rotfl: - obviously has had a very good meaning for us in another context...)

*Television at home, and my stupid listening of Youtube videos ("stupid" in retrospect, when I then find, haphazardly, it's given a trigger. Maybe should stick to "explicit" versions here in my home - but trouble is I also like the "clean" versions for different reasons in the same place (if no-one's there)) - but there's something to be said for exposure to your "trigger" and not avoiding it as it then makes the problem you have worse. Also, they don't always mark something as "clean" (to inform me, even though I have never accepted the term) - they just assume it's okay for unrestricted airing - I have to be careful about it when I don't already know of the song or don't know which version it's going to be (I mean you know on radio broadcasting in the daytime it's always going to be the "problem" one (but then you don't because sometimes they do actually make - far more rarely - real clean versions that contain rewordings of total inoffensive language, like Radiohead "Creep", Beautiful South "Don't Marry Her" or James Blunt "Beautiful" - just examples to illustrate to readers here what radio versions actually I consider to be clean) but Youtube gives me no idea if the version is not marked on a video as to whether it's the "explicit" or the radio).

Then again, there are "explicit" versions that I don't accept are explicit either, though I need not go into detail - suffice to say that sometimes the meaning of a swear in the additional meaning of the phrase in which it's used is ambiguous (probably spelt wrongly:rotfl::rotfl:) and therefore not clear and explicit (as opposed to mere it meaning the word in itself, regardless of what the actual context of the phrase means - sometimes, swearing, in itself, is offensive and gives an emotional reaction regardless of what was said - the mere use of the word (e.g. in hypothetical situation of in public place or supermarket shouted by someone if you're with your young kids or grandma - might make some of us uncomfortable regardless of the meaning of the phrase - the mere use of the word in itself or, as I've found, the mere specific reference to it). Mere use of swearing or other content whatever they see fit to label, in an expression of the opinion of the labeller and not a proven fact, is to me not always "explicit". Is this too much so that I should make this last paragraph text size smaller?:think: Oh, forget it, (I ought to do that literally:laugh:) smaller text size would only draw attention to it.
