  • Yes it does, but that's just not the same, makes me feel like some sort of secret drinker! It's much better with some genial company.
  • Sorry I'm late, but I've scored nearly a kilo of Wookey Hole Cave-Aged Cheddar, does that get me admission??
  • Hey up me ducks.

    How lovely a wee cheese and wine party.

    I've come home to a plethora of cheese bountifully stowed in the fridge by savvy shoppers and cheese fiends of the dog sitting variety.

    I'll happily join in.

    I'm quite jet lagged so excuse me if it takes a wee while to catch up.

    I have to admit to those of you who are of a red leafed heritage, I am ashamed to say, I sampled no Canadian cheese.

    However, as shocking as this sounds, in all things MSE the place we were staying did such wonderous breakfasts, we hardly sampled any other food aside breakfast at all. Very included and very mse.

    You can get brunch until 3pm from 7am, I think this is my kind of country.

    Hello, bestowes everyone with maple cookies and throws in another log.

    Very much appreciate the fire being kept cosy.

    I came home to an invitation to a lovely quantity of brown envelopes, the first to have my cervix inspected (free of charge thank you NHS), three reviews of my NICS contributions, none of which I think are correct and can agree with and the only positive news being we are 15 years and 9 months off paying off the mortgage.

    :)

  • Welcome home! Glad you had a wonderful and injury-free adventure! We have all been enjoying some nibbles of cheese in your welcoming kitchen while you were away!
