Tea? (Part 2)

[Lullabelle]

Don't tell me that you can only wear it in spring.

@Rockymountain Next time you are in Waitrose, can you please get me two four pieces of their Baklava? I think @TheDoctor likes Baklava as well.

They do packs of baklava

Yesterday I made some Turkish Delight ice-cream, which was rather nice.
Get a tub of custard (decent stuff, the sort thickened with egg yolks) and one of double cream, a punnet of strawberries, about 200g of Turkish Delight, a tablespoon or so of rose water and a big dollop of honey.
Liquidise the strawbs, chop the TD. Put everything into your ice-cream maker and turn it on.
It ends up very floral and very very pink!

I did not know it was spelt Baklawa with a wubbellu, but I do now.

Wol, why didn't you say hello when we saw you yesterday?

Well, we're back after a great day! After Southport we went to the West Lancs Light Railway, where NT has now signed us up as members. with a view to volunteering when we can. It's a compact and bijou railway of about half a mile, but we'll get to play with steam and diseasels.

NT got a footplate ride, and I got a ride on the brake van (not enough room on the loco, they are only little!)

They don't have a female loco driver but hopefully they could have.

They were really keen on my practical skills and mentioned that they needed someone who could weld. I can weld, I could be welding locos when I've finished welding their skip trucks. I'll get to play work hard in the loco workshop too.

It is a really tiny railway, almost a garden railway with full sized locos on it.
Aside from the guard's flags and whistle there are no signals.

Diet's going well then?

That cat is Sooooo funny

Hilariously, their timetable lists three stops: a start, a middle halt and an end. The halt is at a tree, which has now been mostly felled, and the end is inaccessible except via the start!

A friend sent me this earlier to cheer me up:

I finally got a text from Rocky minor at 4.00pm...Rocky minimus had texted me at 10.00am. They are both up in Cambridge (watch out @Biscuit) and have been at various garden parties. I suspect they are slightly tipsy

You are so working class

 

[Archie_tect]

Rockaay, you should warn them they could get sacked if they're caught drinking the client's champagne while serving....
