Blimey I sit down to eat my dinner (not worth the bother - culinary catastrophe tonight), come back to the vine to find pages of posts. Must be getting dark earlier

Oh Shirley, can't imagine that it was that bad - or did some dark fairy come in and do the cooking for you.

Evening peeps, just a quick drop in
Weather been glorious here this week too. I have high hopes of another load of ripe tomatoes before I start on the green tomato chutney

We've managed to get our 2 hayfields (front & back garden) chopped down today, thank goodness, I thought it was going to be next spring before they got cut!

Nicos, don't worry about studying the French, just listen to it in the background - it all makes much more sense when you're actually there! I studied Spanish at evening classes for a couple of years and felt like I was making no progress, til I stayed out there for a while and found I could get by with people who had no English, could shop, feed myself, get around on the bus etc. My favourite phrase was "Speak more slowly please" (Hablar mas despacio por favor), as they all speak like machine guns, even in English!

No dark fairy to blame. Just me being totally useless at cooking yorkshire puddings (not sure why but I have never managed it yet) and us having toad in the hole (well toad in the swamp) for dinner!

Oh, thank God Im not the only one who's no good at Yorkshire's. I blame the tins or the oven... or anything else I can think of 'cept meeself.

Ok...so WHAT is a good Yorkshire pudding??
My mother makes them like cardboard- and I make them greasy and stodgy ( to perfection according to my OH - and me)

Better for seeing a bit of sunshine

You definately aren't the only one - mine are always terrible too My mum made lovely Yorkshire puds, but I've never got the hang of it! I think it's to do with how hot the fat is, and Ma always used solid fat (like Pura or something) which I never do. Maybe I should try it... Or just stick to Aunt Bessies
