Find Ancestors

I shall,thanx again

Daughter and family are coming to visit over the Easter weekend ...................... but not to see us.


They're doing the incredible trip (8 hours plane trip each way) so they can go to the Island to see our friend (her godfather) while he is still reasonably healthy.

They arrive about 10:30 pm on March 27, go to the Island early on the 28th. Return on the 31st, and then fly out about 11:30 pm on April 1.

We'll get to see them for about a day and a half in total.

David a belated welcome to the thread. we are all quite mad - some of us more than others ;-)

'course you remembers the milk cart Sylvs......you is older than me!! ;-)



I agree about the lack of information re our food......but I must admit that I don't buy any 'value' frozen products usually. I rarely buy meat from the supermarket as I want to support our local butcher. His meat is of a high quality and he's a very pleasant and humorous chap - we always make each other laugh somehow. :-D


My daughter has been collecting old mobile phones for an autism charity and he's been really good and asked his customers to help. :-D




Oh well, bedtime it is.....early start on a Sunday :-(

Actually, I don't really mind getting up early because it means my OH can get his meds in order so that we can go you-know-where........ :-D



Night all...........

Night Cyns <3

Good morning......just a quick visit 'cos it's Sunday.....and.......well, you know the rest.. :-D :-D


Grabbing a quick coffee....and off........~~~~

Well, looks like Sylvia is busy so I have thrown a few things together.............

All the usual cold cereals, yoghurts, fresh fruits and, of course, the porridge is bubbling on the stove.

Croissants and Danish Pastries.

Platters of various hams and cheeses,

Hot bread rolls, crackers, toast and a variety of sweet and savoury spreads.

Bacon and sausages sizzling in the pan and mushrooms and tomatoes under the grill.

Eggs will be cooked just as you like them.

Tea, coffee, juices etc, on the side.........

Enjoy,

Dea Xxx

Thanks Dea.....seem to have finished my jobs earlier than usual so am just having another coffee before I leave to pick my daughter up.

Tis raining quite a lot and we have been promised snow at some stage...... :-(

I will do you a bacon barmcake with a 'granny egg' on it Cynthia - you can eat it on the way (It's not messy) ;-) ! <3

Dea Xxx

We have heavy snow and Im supposed to pick my sister up from church later :-(

Forecast says it will turn to heavy rain later, lets hope

Dea, what the heck is a 'granny egg' :-S

A 'Granny egg' is one I cook for my grand-daughter Ginns! - She LOVES them' ! ;-)

If she previously had an egg she would eat only the 'white' (not too wasteful though as grandson would eat only the 'yolk' :-D :-D)

Anyway, I put the egg in a cup and break up the yolk into the white (not whisked as you do for a scrambled egg or omelette but just lightly broken). - Then I fry in a little olive oil, turning it over to cook both sides and she devours every scrap with gusto !!!

She christened it a 'Granny egg' and that's how mummy and daddy now have to cook them for her too :-)

Try one - they are excellent in a sandwich as they don't drip out all down yer front!

Dea Xxx

I see.....Ive had them like that too but I like the yoke dripping down my chin!

I can see why they would good to take in the car though ;-)

Is there nobody here yet ???

Dea Xxx

Im here :-D

daughter phoned this morning, earlier than usual .........


........ they had 30 com of snow and high winds (therefore drifting and blizzard-like conditions) over Friday night and Saturday morning ............... the tail end of that major storm that hit north-eastern USA.

Then they got another 10 cm overnight Saturday/Sunday ................. because of another storm that went east from Alberta through Ontario and into the Maritimes.

Her husband had cleared the driveway, the city had cleared all main streets and were starting on secondary roads, and were clearing the sidewalks with the little Bobcat thingy they use .................


................. so once grandson had woken form his nap, they were going to go out to get some necessary items.


They were snowed in yesterday morning, and forced to have a "home" day :-D

Hi.......have had a visitor..... :-D


Thank you for the granny egg Dea....I'm glad it didn't drip 'cos I was wearing a red jacket and it would have looked silly with egg down the front.... <3


Gins.....you should have gone with your sister......never mind just picking her up....sheeeeeesh....... ;-)



Had a good morning you-know-where and, after the main service there were 3 baptisms. One of the babes arrived in a proper pram. Yep. A proper pram and you all know what I mean by that.

It had been re-conditioned and looked lovely. I couldn't help but rock it for a minute or two..... :-D :-D



Really hope that Canadian white stuff doesn't come over here too much....please ask them to keep it to themselves Sylvs.....


So, what else is new....???? No excitement anywhere??

OH went you know where, as usual, this morning ..............


their vicar retired at age 65 at the end of December. She used to lead dreary services, read all her sermons, etc


The committee did some searching, and then they got a fill-in one Sunday about 3 weeks ago. OH wasn't there, so knew nothing until last week when it was announced that the "fill-in" had been appointed as the new half-time vicar

................ against the Bishop's wishes!!

This was his first day .............. OH said he was an "absolute cracker", and that he hadn't heard a sermon as good since he left the Methodist school in North Wales where he went from ages 13-18. Welsh Methodist ministers being renowned for fiery sermons etc ........... I had one as my RI teacher for the first 3 years in high school, and boy, could he liven up the class, especially when we got him riled up!!!!

Said vicar is in his 30s .................. and is half-time because he is a Music Teacher, and doesn't want to give that up.

good morning everyone
