LindainHerriotCountry Report 15 May 2013 22:01

No, I was thinking of her as a glamorous housewife

Tecwyn

Tecwyn Report 15 May 2013 21:54

You make Berona sound like Norah Batty :-D

LindainHerriotCountry Report 15 May 2013 21:54

Clever wording there Tec :-D

Tecwyn

Tecwyn Report 15 May 2013 21:51

There is nothing the Duchess doesn't know about me - I am an open book :-D

I never did anything that wouldn't be expected of me

at all times

in all circumstances

:-D

Tecwyn

Tecwyn Report 15 May 2013 21:41

Discretion is the better part of valour ;-)

LindainHerriotCountry

LindainHerriotCountry Report 15 May 2013 21:38

Hmm, did you tell the Duchess :-|

Tecwyn

Tecwyn Report 15 May 2013 21:37

Oh I enjoyed myself never fear - like you wouldn't believe ;-)

LindainHerriotCountry

LindainHerriotCountry Report 15 May 2013 21:33

Of course it was in the line of duty, heaven forbid that you would enjoy yourself

Tecwyn

Tecwyn Report 15 May 2013 21:31

I must have drank gallons of it in my time, but all in the line of duty you understand - but still never acquired a taste for it

LindainHerriotCountry

LindainHerriotCountry Report 15 May 2013 21:24

Maybe it is an acquired taste, which I have acquired :-D

Tecwyn

Tecwyn Report 15 May 2013 21:22

Red will be fine thank you - strangely, I am not keen on champagne, never have been

LindainHerriotCountry

LindainHerriotCountry Report 15 May 2013 21:20

Oops, we only have red, I don't like white wine, unless it is Champagne of course

Tecwyn

Tecwyn Report 15 May 2013 21:17

That's very kind of you - a dry white would be just the job if you have one - thank you :-)

LindainHerriotCountry

LindainHerriotCountry Report 15 May 2013 21:10

I think I will, would you care for one?

Tecwyn

Tecwyn Report 15 May 2013 21:01

Maybe you ought to have another by now :-)

LindainHerriotCountry

LindainHerriotCountry Report 15 May 2013 19:57

Well, I did all the cleaning,so obviously I deserve a glass of wine now

LindainHerriotCountry

LindainHerriotCountry Report 15 May 2013 11:33

I would love it to be 20 Berona :-)

It is nearly lunchtime and I still haven't started cleaning. I have done useful things such as renew my annual travel insurance policy. The chap warned me in advance that the price will rocket next year as we will reach the ancient age of 65, oh joy

Berona Report 15 May 2013 11:21

Not quite as good a day as I hoped for. It was only 5c overnight, not 6 - and to-day's temp got to 20, but not for long. There was a cold feel to the air. Perhaps because it was cold up in the mountains and if the wind comes from the west, we feel the overflow here. Yes, I know 20 sounds ideal to you, but I think our humidity is different, and the temp only needs to fall a couple of degrees for us to feel the difference. We can expect another cold night, tonight, so I have put the heater on low in order to keep the house warm when I turn it off to go to bed. I don't feel cold in bed - still using the same covers as I have been using all year and not yet got into the warm nightwear. Might start wearing socks tonight. My feet are the first to feel the cold.
