    Well done on the build admin (this auto corrected to ‘boiled’ admin initially! 😂) but dreams of it …?? Oh dear!  I hope every party in the dream was civil, professional, effective and efficient! 😉😊

    < wanders over to PiP’s with a bottle of Henderson’s Relish for a dinner of cheesy potatoes and baked tomatoes …> 😉

    Another tasty meal...Henderson's relish is an excellent addition

  • Oh obviously @KajiKita 😂
    Help yerself to grub, glad you're bringing your own sauces, I don't even know what Hendersons relish is..

    I would rather be dreaming sweeter things @beanielou but I always wake up tired after a night's sleep as so much goes on in dreamland, so I trust my brain that it is super busy processing necessaries!

    Henderson’s relish is the veggie version of Worcester sauce 😊

    'Remember' by Christina Rossetti is one of my preferred poems, and the last lines of 'better by far that you should forget and smile, than that you should remember and be sad' always stuck in my head.

    Wow that year since your friend passed has flown! My mom used to love Henderson’s relish, I think you could only get it in Yorkshire at one stage and she used to stock up when she visited her sister up there. Now I believe you can get it anywhere. It’s mentioned a lot in Pinch of Nom recipes.

  • Thank you for my education @KajiKita, apparently everyone else, well @doingitanyway and @Sun_Addict knows this!

    Well that has got me right between the heart strings and given me a little cry @redofromstart. What an utterly mad old world eh. I'm proud of us all that we're even half sane given the circumstances of being human let alone owt else
