Hello one and all. Good day for some of my shares today. LLOY up a tad and her-indoors M&S going great guns. I think I'll have a minor celebration with a tin of pilchards in.
What wine goes with pilchards in, I wonder?

Hi All
SA calling Blighty; thought I'd drop in and see whats happening. Cool bananas.
Sad to say I've sold Sweet Revenge, she won four of her last six runs plus a third
and I got an offer not to be refused.
I was v.sad to let her go but the offer was too good to turn down, add her winnings and it had to be so there's no Cafe Horse anymore.
It was a terrific experience and one I could never have had in Blighty; too expensive & too snobbish so it turned out like PRM did for me all those months [years] ago.
Don't have any investments now so infrequent visitor but you never know, I might
re-enter the fray one day.
Do you ever hear from Hils; seems years since I was in touch but daresay Jessie is still in touch.
All the best campers; we're in Autumn here now and I'm not enjoying the shock to the system; had to wear long trousers, long sleeved shirt today AND socks [No not you, Socco!].
Hope the sun shines on you all,
I'm now a single man again!
LW

Evening LW, good to see you drop by, sorry to hear we will have to amend the header and remove our favourite (and only) horse ;-) its due a major revamp anyway so the timing is pretty good.
Sounds as though you have had an eventful time recently, getting rid of a horse and other big changes, hope your new single status doesn't mean you will be staying out late and drinking to much? but if it does remember chocolat is sometimes in here and she is great at both of those things ;-)
Please drop by when you can.
By the way we have a new sardine orientated menu now, well my selections have sardines for some reasons others don't seem so keen so if you fancy a sardine fish finger and trifle meal anytime you know where to go.

Hi LW, you do seem to lead a busy life, too exciting for me by far. Race horses are fun but there comes a time when they just become an expense. Sad though it may seem, I think you have done the right thing. You can still follow here fortunes though.
Spacie, I'll stick to sherry trifle without sardines, thank you.

There are advantages to working for an aviation company, fresh Whitby kippers flown in before breakfast. Just don't bash the helicopter on the grass on the Coffee House lawn. I'll move it later, the helicopter that is, not the lawn.

Morning Socs, found the kippers they look nice, any special tricks for cooking them?
Maybe poach for a few mins, add a bit of butter and serve with pot of tea and some bread and butter, yummy.
Oh almost forgot, can we keep the chopper? might be useful for emergency resupplies if we run out of anything in the cafe.

'Morning Spacie. I usually fry my kippers in butter, just long enough to heat them through, Poaching is fine, if you like that sort of thing, or you can try grilling for a few minutes each side..
Can't keep the chopper I'm afraid. Cost a packet to run and it's an executive model, not best suited to carting food supplies around. Best get a more utility model for that. I can always borrow one if needed.
I had a mental aberation this morning and washed the beamer, done all except the wheels, hate that job. It needed it though as most days it's parked near to a chopper landing pad and gets covered in dust. Looks like it has been on a Sahara Rally. Leave it too long and the weeds start growing on it when it rains.
Now, if you will excuse me I'm off to the kitchen to make my speciality dish, corned beef rissoles. If you ask me nicely I'll make a few of my home made fish-cakes, it's the parsley that makes them different, scrummy.
