Default Thank you Wellie and Trousers!!

Sorry folks, but I just had to say a public and very heartfelt thank you to the wonderful Wellie and Trousers!! What a generous, kind and thoughtful couple they are! After a weekend of culinery delights we left laden down with seeds, jars of yummy goodies, and the promised baby plum tomatoes.

You DO all want the recipe for smoked chicken starter (hint hint Wellie!) and limoncello syllabub dessert, and ..... well I guess a girl has to have some secrets!!

Oh, and I was so busy having a wonderful time that I totally forgot to take the camera out of its case - silly Susan, big mistake!

Couldn't agree more Moggssue, aren't they lovely

So glad that you had a good time but then, I knew you would. Shame about the camera, I hope the Wellingtons took some piccies though.

Oh no - you're most welcome sweetart...... Trousers and I absolutely loved you both to bits, and enjoyed the weekend so much, that we're already looking forward to meeting up with you both again in the not too distant future, when I promise to let you have some of the sweet'n'sour borlotti's that we nibbled on and I promised to give you, but forgot!

I most certainly will post up what I did for the starter, and too the Limoncello Sillyblub! and I'm really pleased that you enjoyed them (as well as the freshly picked Holly Veg, and 'Secrets' !)

With a 'Kevin' of a Camera ourselves, there aren't photos here either I'm afraid folks, sorry....

But I would just like to say, that whilst it's quite nerve-wracking to arrange meet-ups like this, it is so hugely rewarding when it works out as superbly as this, and now that you have, I'm confident that you'll agree to meet other Grapes too.... count me in girlie!

Well, honestly - what do you mean, no piccies? Hopeless, the lot of you!!

Seriously, I'm not in the least surprised that you had a fabbo time, Moggie - how could you not? and what sweeties you are Wellie and Trousers for sharing the delight which is Holly Cottage. Hugs all round! xx

PS What did BC think?
