Mornings!

Nicos, going to try your fruit cake recipe...where can I find the chocolate cake one? Only if you have time to find it, don�t go out of your way!! Well ok maybe you could since it�s chocolate and...!!

This is the one, I think http://www.growfruitandveg.co.uk/gra...ml#post1419301

After another good night's sleep, I'm deep in fondant flowers this morning, can't make up my mind whether to make an almond, orange or plain vanilla cake �.. I need another cup of tea, obviously

Have a good'un

Good morning all.
Another beautiful sunny morning.

Off out shortly.
Enjoy your day all.

Good morning, cold and wet so no gardening today, bramble I will happily share the cake with you I will let you know when Thelma sends it to me

[Snoop Puss]

Thanks for finding the cake recipe, TS. I will have a bash at that perhaps next weekend (no chocolate in the house now). I'm up for making ginger snaps and jam tarts this weekend.

Cloudy out today. And cloudy in my head too - the builder has let us down big time...

Public holiday here too. Shame that I've still got loads of work to get through.

Catch you later, guys. Have a good one meanwhile.

Morning, well the rugby match was a good one, Wales just not able to get through New Zealand's defence often enough. Proper dreich today, no plans for getting wet out there today.

Morning all, dreich here today and it was wet overnight . My task today which I thought would take me an age and would be very fiddly - putting the new carburettor for my rotavator together - took me less than 5 minutes. I thought it would take longer because there seemed to be loads of bits and pieces in the packaging but taking out the gaskets and the fixing studs revealed there were two sets of bits, one lot which were for my machine and another set which must be for a machine using the same engine and carb but needing a different level of power(or something like that). Anyway, job done and I'm on the vine . Rotavator will be reassembled when I'm next at the plot.

And it's still raining!
Yup, that is the recipe..it's brill
I have made double quantities before but it doesn't go solid enough if it's too thick

I really fancy making a rice pudding but I've no pudding rice. Might just make it with long grain instead...

By heck, it really feels like I need some good heavy stodgy winterwarming nosh today

[Nicos]

Yippeeee! I thought I had some!
Just found a packet of rice pudding
Cooking in the oven as we speak...along with the hotpot.
It's just the weather for some fresh beetroot and , as it's paused in the sploshy department , I think I'll go and pull some beetroot ( one of the advantages of growing in your garden eh?)

Good evening dark already,today OH wanted to go to a factory shop so to avoid having to do any housework I was quite happy to take her, while there I decided that she wanted to buy me a new bonnet, scone type, so she purchased a new coat, jumper and shoes,once home guess what was missing, yes my bonnet ah well there is always the next time

[veggiechicken]

I decided that she wanted to buy me a new bonnet, scone type,

Rary, I know you've been asking everyone to send you cakes and I thought you wanted to eat them - not wear them on your head!
A Scone for a bonnet. You really do have some strange habits

[Nicos]

Mornin n'alln'all
*whispers.....I think there is a pause in the rain
Either way...it's blowing a hoolie out there -can't see Hibou staying out long
Still, she's very demanding in that she needs to go out NOW...so, lets see!
Might as well pop the kettle on at the same time -breakfast in bed anyone?

Yes...yes...I'm on my way Hibou

Good Morning All Fine here for now. Have a good day

[Can the Man]

Morning from a wet and miserable Kildare, up watching the RWC final, very disappointed in England performance

[bramble]

Good morning all.
A beautiful sunny morning.
Watching the rugby and then out for the day.
Have a good Saturday all.
