Well, not much good about it actually - what with all of the snow.
:(
There didn't seem to be anywhere for new members to introduce themselves - sooooo.

I do not have an allotment, but have got a decent sized garden - which I can't see for the moment, because of all the white stuff.

Hope you all had a peaceful and happy Christmas.
:)

That's just what I need. Tulip - somewhere nice and warm.
Our central heating gave up the ghost on Tuesday, and it is rather chilly in here.
Brrrrrrrrrr.

The plumber has been today, and can't fit a new combi till next Thursday.
Blooming bank holidays.  :'(

lorna - my eyes are blue - unusual for a whippet, I know.

Yes, I do have a fine nose, don't I terrace max - I have a lovely sleek body to go with it, too.

Wait for someone else to say it Whippet!  ;)

I have relatives in Terrington. I think it's the nicest place on the planet. Is that somewhere near you?

Well hello Whippet!  Welcome to the funny farm!  ;D ;D


Doris Pinks, call yourself a friend!  Here I am, wrapped in a duvet, freezing my...ahem...toes off, sipping a warming amaretto and scoffing a chocolate orange whilst listening to David Grey...oh, hang on, life isn't so bad after all!  Hope you are having a great time my lovely!

Hello whippet, welcome aboard.

I still have some chilli crumble left from Christmas so thought I would send you some to warm you up.  Delicious with hot pepper sauce.

Jaggy. Have you been taking lessons from Lottie.? Somersaults, splits and now flashing welcome signs.

Your chilli crumble looks so delicious Pauline, you have made me peckish now ... need a quick munchie from the kitchen ...

Post by: Robert_Brenchley on December 30, 2005, 09:32:42
That sounds interesting; we use chilli in everything else, but I've never tried it in anything puddingish. What else goes into it?

I agree, beautiful area, TM.
I am further north again from there.

Nathan - my avatar is my picture.
;)
Pauline, thanks for the chilli crumble, that should warm me up a bit.

Well, it seems to be thawing up this way.
It now feels colder indoors than out. I think it would be safer leaving my bonsai outside - they won't get so frozen!!

Thank you all for the warm welcomes.
That has thawed me through quite nicely for the moment.
;D
