    I thought you had emigrated MKS. ;)

    No, just migrated for a longer than usual time. Bit warm though, still about 37c.

    I doubt anyone will. :rotfl: I think most of the original calendar were the ladies offering up their OH's except for Locarr. ;)

    Us ladies did ours remembering madmuppet. :A

    All good here thanks, not long back from Larmer Tree, lovely week with all the family. Teeny is growing up so fast. :A

    Made me smile, madmuppet was such a lovely character. Glad that you enjoyed Lamer Tree, any Tom this year? They do grow quickly. Am waiting for my DGC to come out next week. 😀

    I'm sick to the back teeth of the sight of strawberries! The final count was a few grams short of 20lbs :eek:there are a load in the freezer but stupidly, I didn't weigh them before they went in.

    I might be nice to the local chip shop and get some of their big food grade buckets - brilliant for wine making. And my grape vine looks fab, with dozens of bunches on it so I'll need all the buckets I can get :rotfl:

    Am away but DS is picking etc but he tells me that the more he picks, the more it grows 😀

    You wanted a reminder on the 24th because it was expiring 25th (and it was in the zip pocket of your handbag)

    :A:A:A

    I'm in shock I remembered to use it and even more in shock the SA didn't bat an eyelid it was over a tenner. :eek:

    Actually bought some vodka with it for the girls to drink while at the festival and nearly forgot to let you know. :o

    Plus side we brought half the bottle back with us. :beer:

    Thought of you while there one of the comedians was Scottish and did a joke about iron bru. :p
