Congratulations on your.lovely new Granddaughter Catherine. Scarlett is beautiful - I wish her a long and happy life. I am now a great-great aunt to the first little one in our family for almost 30 years - such a joy!

Hope you had a lovely Chrstmas Sarah. Happy New Year to you. Rosie x

I am,for the time being anyway. I am posting very infrequently now though.

Try Wotsits next time! Goodnight Jen xx

Salted or unsalted - it could make quite a difference .....😄

Salted or unsalted?

Of course you can't help it. It is completely understandable. xx

I frequently suffered from feelings of guilt when I was caring for my parents, Jen, probably needlessly. We do our best, but caring is so very tiring. Don't punish yourself. Goodnight and sleep well. xx

Clever girl! 😄

I have not seen that one before Mel.

And she's very welcome. Perhaps it will tempt her to join us.

You may, but I doubt you will have much success 😄

"Grin"not "from' - wretched autocorrect!

I am in the same boat. What can we do but from and bear it? Night Jen. x

On the third day of Christmas my true love sent to me, three French hens, two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree.
Ate them. Oh-la-la.

Night all.

Five years on the 17th of this month Jen - five very long years.....

I remember it was much nicer 70 years ago when my brother first moved here (he was in the RN) but now it feels like one huge, densely populated, rather grey industrial estate. I came here 5 yrs ago, not really from choice but to be nearer the only family I have left. I think I'd prefer Stornoway 😄!

That is about the most exciting thing about the place.😂

Morning Jen.

Yes it was. There is one restaurant in this area that serves Stornoway Black Pudding so my nephew makes a beeline for it when he can 😆

You have missed a treat - I love Black Pudding. My half-Scottish nephew informed me that Stornoway Black Pudding is the very finest. I thought to get him some for Christmas but the postal charge is almost 10 quid!

Enjoy it! Sweet dreams.

Night night x

Of course I don't mind - to meet nice people is why so many of us have taken up residence here.
