Hi, Hope you both have good visits with you're rellies. :) We went to a fantastic wedding in South Souths and then to Seaburn at the weekend. Absolute luxury staying at a lovely hotel. :D My daughter was a bridesmaid, and the family were Italian, so it was a big Bubbly Do. ::) They had a brilliant Italian Wedding Singer who was great and "Looky Likey" "George Michael" 8) ;)sang in the evening. Fabulous Food and even stayed for the Wedding Breakfast the next day, starting off with Bucks Fizz or French Champagne, wish I could have taken some of the food home with me. :P

Came down to reality with a bump this morning when my husband and I popped over to the allotment. My favourite stainless steel fork, two hammers and a spirit level (husband building a greenhouse wall) all gone. :( >:( :'Have searched everywhere but it looks like the vandals strike again. We will have to review our security again. It is so disappointing when this happens and leaves a sour taste doesn't it? :'( busy_lizzie

Hi all
I loved the thunder storm but spent most of it cuddling the dog - she thought it was fireworks.

Cerig - I used to live on Park terrace :D
My lottie is on Cleveland road, a private site and so unfortunately, alot are not worked and the owner's won't sell up either, so some of it is a bit of a mess.

scarily small world!

I'm taking my boy to Bede's World in Jarrow today they have a medieval farm and herb garden - I've just seen on their website that they grow heritage and medieval crops - and you can get surplus seeds there for a 50p donation at their reception - veg, wildflower and dye plant seeds - I'll let you know if I get anything interesting.

Cheers
ceri

And now I'm back! (I've come back to a massive flood in the house though - shower connector thingy went - I think the kitchen ceiling might just go too before the night's out!)

Anyway, I got Carlin peas, just because we were talking about them, and Celtic beans - don't know what they are so if anyone does, let me know - I'll try them out to see what happens in Spring.

Hi
Have found some info on your celtic beans...Ceri ;D Latin name is vicia faba minor and they are black and similar to a broad bean!! Yummy!
Must try to visit Bede's World next time I'm up in Geordieland!! Drive past the signpost every time, but never had the time to call in. The seeds on offer sound really interesting.
btw ..legless.....who's that in your profile pic??!!

Well...........what can I say Jethro!!!! ::) ;D Each to their own!! ;D My pin up was the one and only tall, dark, and handsome Bryan Ferry!! 8) :-* Gosh ...my memory,(and eyes and ears etc!!) is seriously deteriorating!!! ::) Please remind me of the group he used to be lead singer of all those years ago!!! Fantastic saxophone on those early tracks!!

Mrs Ava · « **Reply #77 on:** November 07, 2003, 20:05:12 »

aaahhh Bryan Ferry, the original lounge lizard. He was the lead in Roxy Music as I recall, altho a touch before my time ::). My pin up I'm afraid to say was Simon Le Bon! uurrgghhh :-X
