OK temporary accomodation for us ex-pats of Spacie's coffee house that is sadly now boarded up and in memory of Goldie's old pad the tearooms.

No fancy stuff, as this is temporary until we find a nice new place but it's warm down here with the fire and aga and I've organised a daily guinness, lager and wine delivery. There is a small kitchen in the corner and a few comfy cosy armchairs.

So feel free to take refuge when you need a break - self-service generally I'm afraid but when I can I'll rustle up a meal :>)

Was that off the top of your head skinny.

Hmm, well I wouldn't mind if the lady in red greased my propshaft Skinny!

I used to be "into" cars - so know a few boring details - normally earlier cars though, I used to rally a MK1 RS1600 Escort many moons ago.

40 + years ago, just seems like yesterday.

Er no the car wasn't new when I rallied it in the mid/late 1970's :-)

Sorry. lol

Nice motor Skinny! Minis were my 'thing' in my young days. I was once asked to take part in a rally with someone who is now very well known in the motor sport world, he was going to use his mother's car; I was going to say yes until I found out that his mother was on holiday and was not aware of the plan!!

One for kim :-))

Wouldn't mind if she was at my beck and call DC!

Texas Tea

Quite right. Barley and hops!

One of the best things on earth, the other one well erhhhh.

"Where there is tea there is hope."
Where there is beer there is a hop.

Sometime a skip and a jump as well; but usually a fall!

Well I'll drink to that. In fact I'll raise more than my glass!

I'm here.
The teas here.
Where's the doughnuts?

Up there, behind the bar!

I was sitting in Leaf Tea Shop last week staring at a sign saying "Where there's tea there's hope" wondering where I had heard that before!
