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.

Mmmm, looks familiar. Do you ever go to Brocksbushes?

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 a the "problem" one but Youtube gives me no idea).

:rotfl: you put an asterix in your post :eek:

I'm not sure that aversions to certain things are always to do with a previous bad experience. I think I've told you before about DS2 absolute loathing of anything green. I've never been able to fathom a rational explanation for it. I know it's always been there (or at least from an early age) as it was a very canny nursery teacher that noticed he was getting extremely distressed every time someone asked him to sit on a green chair. Any other chairs were fine, but not green ones.
Obviously green is a very unfortunate colour to have an aversion to it's pretty hard to avoid! I have put unsightly slabs across my lawns so he doesn't have to walk on the grass, it has a huge impact on his diet and I have to remove all the green triangles from the quality street at Christmas :rotfl:amongst other things. He copes better with it now than he used to and I've figured out that it's not the sight of it that bothers him so much, it's that he dislikes any contact with it. It took me years to unravel that fact properly.
People in our household can own and eat and touch green things as long as he doesn't have to.

when doing a hd for sada can the items only be delivered to your own adress or can you have them delivered to a different adress ?

CJJ - I can't comment on the outfit but I would suggest not holding your phone like that during the interview (sound off and in your bag), best to maintain eye contact .

On my way home from work today there was a house with a sign up and four carrier bags full of apples sign said to take them so I had one bag but now I'm wondering what to do with them given my freezers are full to bursting and I go on holiday in a week

Suggestions please - I have plenty of rhubarb I can match them with but don't want to be making endless supplies of crumble and I do t have huge amounts of time to do anything big with them either

A simple idea for something different to do with apples

Apple Dip

[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT] ¾ pt /375ml water
4oz /100g Sugar
Tablespoon Custard Powder
3-4 Apples
Put sugar and water in a pan and bring to the boil, peel, core and 1/6 apples, poach for about 5 minutes, remove apples with a draining spoon and put in a serving dish. Mix custard powder with a little cold water, pour into pan while stirring bring back through the boil and pour over apples. Either eat hot or cover and leave to cool.

No triggers

Pleased to report no triggers of any kind being experienced right now! I assume, in the context of shopping, that's a good thing there as since nothing is hidden as in "not on the comp.", all items give a refund to the APG. No need to answer, just rhetoric. Glad to see I'm still an old hand with this that still knows (or thinks he does:doh:) how it works.

:rotfl: you put an asterix in your post :eek:

Yes, a single asterisk in the context of giving a footnote:p. It doesn't mean or imply a swearword in that context - and neither can you read it as such in front of the first word immediately following it. So, that's no problem and explains the distinction as I see.

[EDIT: I might now go and read the rest of your post, which is the gist, and may reply to it later, after I've had my "tea":D:T. Might actually get the gist rather than concentrating on one line and missing it all:rotfl::rotfl:. Initially:D - I do get it in the end, just via the minor first sentence detail first:cool: (sort of cool).]

I posted a recipe for tomato and pepper chutney a couple of days ago, it is seriously nice:D

Have just made some. Does it really improve after four weeks?

Hi, not actually seen the recipe you have made but all chutneys improve if left to mature for a few weeks
