CLOSED - THANKS to all customers for the last few years

G'morning opto - still a bit parky here.

Same here Choccy and got to go into town this AM. Quiet on the market I've eleven stocks, eight green three red all low volume.

Morning. I'm helping myself to coffee and some doughnuts.

Market getting back to 'normal' now 8 red 2 green 1 red (+1/2p) :-((

Afternoon All!
All the 'white stuff' has temporarily gone outside here but they
say we will have more later, it's been trying to snow this morning
but failed so far to manage it.

Lunch
Roast chicken with the usual roast tatties, sprouts, carrots,
mashed swede, stuffing etc.

Gammon steaks with pineapple and rice with peas and baby corn.

Aubergine bake, heavy on the cheese and mushrooms.

Followed by
Apple crumble and the compulsory custard,

Strawberry cheesecake of the low fat variety with Elmlea cream substitute,

Treacle tart with custard.

By the way - there's a cushion with Al's name on it for him
when he comes in ;>)

Bunny LOL!

Hope all's well.

Roast chicken....Apple crumble and custard please Bunny. Bright here now but it's been an awful morning and I would think more to come.

Hi JJ and Opto - yes more to come, very pretty to look at but not
much use beyond that unless you want to brush up your skills in
snowman building :>)

Bunny,
Aubergine bake with cheese and mushrooms followed by treacle tart for me please.

No snow here in central london there is a bit blowing in the wind but none on the ground.

Wot's this cushion doing with Al's name on it?
Snow all gone here (South Sussex).

Afternoon Snowie!
Yes but wait until later, I bet we all get some more!

Ah the cushion, don't worry it's waiting to 'crown' Mr Al
;>)

What would you like for lunch Snowie?

Bit late for lunch bunny but if there is any treacle tart left I'll have some with a mug of coffee please.

Afternoon all. Just brought in some freshly
baked chocolate chip coookies for afternoon tea - burnt my
thumb taking them out of oven, so hope they are worth it!
Comfort food needed this afternoon if the rest of you
have portfolios as red as mine!

Snow has past here but more forecast, quite bright
actually but high chill factor.

Thanks JJ, they are lovely :>)
Yes it is a bit of a red day :>(

Did someone mention red!! jj how do you bake them without the chocolate melting?

Nice of you to embroider my name on the cushion, bunny.

Please stick it in the big armchair by the fire and I'll park my arse on it when the market closes. BFC has had me bouncing in my chair all day.

Oh, and I longed FDI earlier just in case the wimmin need a diamond or two.

Later!

(Whoosh sound as he departs stage left!) ;-)))

and a second Whhhooooshhhhhh sound as a cushion follows him
at break/brake (?) neck speed!!! ;>)

Missed him again!

Opto....make the chocolate chunks big :-)

..... also chill dough in fridge first (sausage shaped!),
then slice off in 2cm thick slices - 9 to 11 mins at 180!!
