Margaret i remember Effle Tower Lemonade Crystals and I think they came in Orange too. The Lemon were best. You made it up to about a pint and then diluted it to taste. It came in a glass jar.

Hi All
damp and cold today. OH and I were at the garden centre this afternoon , bought some Geraniums & pansies to plant in the troughs in my front porch,
Red. Yellow, & Pink pansies, and red and white Geraniums, look really bright.

I think I need to pass on the pumpkin competition , Scotland isn't the best of climates to grow pumpkins,, Our sunflowers were useless last year.
Now if you had said potatoes , that would be ok.
unfortunatly we don't have a green house either.

Hi Margaret, welcome
I love prawns, OH makes a great fish pie, with white fish, salmon and prawns, chopped egg in a white sauce and topps it off with Mash potato then grated cheese, my lot love it.

Finshed at the computer for tonight.
See you all tomorrow.
night night

Fiona your front porch will be stunning with all those lovely flowers.I can't wait for some colour to come back into the garden.

Well I found myself nodding off just now right in the middle of a really good programme about an English female Paramedic in Guatemala.What a dangerous place! Just watching the end of it now and then I'm away to bed.

GOOD MORNING ALL !!!

Thank you all so much for your birthday wishes.

The sun is shining here at the moment and I shall be opening my cards later.

Love the rose Ann, thank you.

The pond takes about three days to fill Jane. We don't leave it running in overnight, and you can imagine that the well in about 25 foot deep so the pump has to work hard to to bring water to the surface let alone right across the whole front garden and half of the center garden.

Afternoon All
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEL, Have a lovely dayxxxxxxxxxxxx.

Dull & Gray here, off to the Church Centre this afternoon at 2 to do a coffee duty for another lady who has been away over the weekend she's back tonight.

How many of you got a valentine card today. I have only ever had one and that was the first year OH and I were courting, Found this on the webb
Valentine's Day History and things
There are varying opinions as to the origin of Valentine's Day. Some experts state that it originated from St. Valentine, a Roman who was martyred for refusing to give up Christianity. He died on February 14, 269 A.D., the same day that had been devoted to love lotteries. Legend also says that St. Valentine left a farewell note for the jailer's daughter, who had become his friend, and signed it "From Your Valentine". Other aspects of the story say that Saint Valentine served as a priest at the temple during the reign of Emperor Claudius. Claudius then had Valentine jailed for defying him. In 496 A.D. Pope Gelasius set aside February 14 to honour St. Valentine.

Late as always. but the thought is there. H A P P Y B I R T H D A Y. Mel. Hope you have a good afternoon/evening.

Bright and sunny here but looks cold out, not ventured out there yet.

Margaret, you sound young with an 18 month old. Most of the "OLD DEARS" on here are Grandmothers. !!!!! Only joking babes. !!!!

With have Lewis this weekend for a week. Also next Monday is next door neighbours father's funeral. 2.30pm. Will have to see if his little friends mum can have him for an hour. while we go. If not we will have to pass..

Nurse pleased with Ros this morning (came about 12.00) said it's showing signs of healing.. Hows Ian going on LIZ,

Jane is the pub still in Cranford.??? We use to use that quite a lot when I lived up the road. Way before your time.

Fiona, I can understand you not wanting to compete. with weather like you get.

Mel, I bet you will have to keep a check on the pond in future, you may not be so lucky next time.

I always get 3-4 valentines from OH ever since I met him 20 years ago!! lol He gets serious and funny ones.........told him there was no need to send so many especially now we are retired and they are so expensive, but he didn't listen.

Frank, my back gardens still in progress so I wouldn't know where to put a pumpkin yet, so I better not join in this year.......could have done a sunflower though. lol

PS. I'm not a granny Frank......cheeky boy!!!

Jane Report 14 Feb 2011 13:47

I'm not a Granny either .I wish I was though,but can't see it happening for a long time lol
Margaret I am 56 and have daughter 28 and son 25.Watch out for our Frank he is a right little devil you know lolol

Frank do you mean the Red Lion or the Woolpack? The Red Lion on the main Rd is still there but has changed hands so many times over the last number of years.I hardly ever go there.The Woolpack over in the other half of Cranford shut quite a few years ago and is now a house.Shame really as it looked a real old world type of pub.

It is quite chilly out there.The sun is a bit deceptive.I got a couple of pics this morning of another squirrel right outside the kitchen window,and a Red Kite again in a tree on the other side of the field.

I'm going to watch Doctors now and have a coffee.

Ann I had some lovely tulips and Iris in a little watering can for Valentines.They look pretty on the hearth.
