Here's a picture of the bridge on the Trollstigen in Norway, which we rode a couple of years ago.

Not for any reason, just for pretty.[attachment=1]

I think northener was expecting everyone here to be organising their own Street Party for the great day, a bit like the Queen's Jubilee

Ta, I seem to vaguely remember being a little bit curious as to what the plant was for about 3 seconds on 29 August!

Sorry for posting early but since you all acted as manure spreaders On the thread I am glad you lost a some quid on wasted food  and new clothes. But alas I was going on a jolly on the 25 to a B&B near a bill bong. But since you blighters got your sweets spoiled. I save  Blood Mary toast for you all but alas you all don't have any tomatoes to make them. ttfn

I have read this reponse a few time and I still don't know what it means??

A bed and breakfast  in a bill bong..what does that mean?

The last bit about Mary is totally beyond me and I am not kidding!!

I have tons of tomatoes, but what has that got to do with a vanilla.

Lost.

Just off to look up vanilla plant, so I was wrong.  Sob, sob.  Do we get vanilla ice cream from a vanilla plant.  Never heard of it before.  Had to buy tomatoes from Marks & Spencer today as mine got blight, and they charged me for a bag as I was only going to the bank and tax OH's car so forgot my shopping bag.  Very expensive tomatoes, £1.99 plus 10p for bag.  Sob sob.
