Morning campers 👋
3° & quite calm here in Hamtun.

I have risen!

Salut. Just got back from France and I must say, the food is definitely better there.
Molly was delighted to see me again and so was I.
I must have put a few pounds on probably so will start riding as soon as the weather warms up.

Depends on how much you enjoy snails and frogs legs
I have eaten both on several occasions.

Good morning all. A cloudy start to the day here in Barnet.
The first of the bin lorries will be down our road soon. The general rubbish one is a couple of hours later.
The British gas engineer is coming between 8am- 1pm to do the annual service.
MrsP got a bit too close to another vehicle last night and the cover of the wing mirror flew off. She did retrieve it from the road and it doesn't look damaged but I'll find out when I try to refit it. The other car wasn't damaged by the way.
The carpets in the front room and hallway need cleaning, I bought a bottle of cleaning solution last week, so I'll do that this morning.
Then I'm going to plant my potatoes this afternoon.
All this after walking Millie.
This evening MrsP and myself are off to the Shaftsbury theatre in London town to see Doubtfire.
So all in all a busy busy Monday.
Plus,
I downloaded the CC app , I thought I would come into the modern age.😁
Phew. I'm tired already.

AT least they don;t keep insisting on having cheese with every meal

disgusting stuff - and the French stuff is even worse than the English stuff

Serious question.
How do you know as you don't eat cheese full stop.
As a cheese lover and having had lots of French holidays I can say (from a personal perspective) that I enjoyed the variety of cheeses .

 

[Dave7]

Morning all.
Another cold start but should start warming up tomorrow.
Might try an Aldi clash later as my legs are working better today.

I love cheese, particularly strong Cheddar, but also French cheeses. Perfect with some grapes, apple and a good glass of Vino rouge.
May I ask what it is about cheese you find disgusting?
There are so may different types, from hard cheddars to softer brie or camenbert.

Morning. A long lie had. I see there’s been a shower anyway.

Currently eating Red Leicester on crackers.

On the question of cheese I would like to clear up one thing.
Cheese is always eaten before dessert as dessert is the last dish to be served.
I found that many people in this country are so ignorant about this etiquette.
Now you know.

Happy St Patrick's Day to any here from the Emerald Isle ☘️

Bit damp this morning; think we had some rain overnight.
MrsD wants to go shopping in Bridgwater this morning. Deep joy.

A variety of cheese eg Brie, Cheshire, some blue with crackers and vino, difficult to beat.
