Wmsl.... I bet it was our jaunt across the bridge into England yesterday... they closed all the borders to stop us trying to get back again cos I went on a shopping spree, lol!! Too late though.... I'm home!!

West Wales is under siege though, Sue M says... not that they were telling her.... she's worked it out for herself, lolol

Love

Aunty Bessie does do rather tasty frozen roasties (at a pinch of course, me being the domestic goddess type person I like to think I am!)

It must be a transportation problem I suspect - is the border open, or have there been skirmishes not reported in the press?

Jac I am hoping that R has bought some on his way home... I have three left, lol!! I like rice and pasta, but he doesn't.......... I have found that the Jerseys haven't been so nice this year..... but thought it was just my taste buds still playing up... still can't drink water, even bottled!!

And we didn't plant any... the veggie garden is about to be constructed... we have got a couple that we shoved in some of the borders though...... nowhere near ready yet.

Aw, LWH... share, pretty please, lol

Love

Told you, there are sieges planned in secret and those 'in the know' are buying in panic.

I am expecting a foreign army to invade our local town and take control of all food shops within the hour.

Our local As** superstore had totally run out of them yesterday, apart from a few sorry looking sweet potatoes..... not a Jersey Royal, a Maris piper or a King Edwards, not a baker or a fryer, or one suitable for mashing... I have never heard of that happening before, has anyone else?

I mean, potatoes??

Love
