CLOSED - THANKS to all customers for the last few years

Tea and crumpets please.

All on my lonesome in the office in Paris today. It is a public holiday but I came to work to earn a crust. Weather here is still fantasic, high 70's forcast. Getting me in the mood for my holiday next week to Cyprus. Its a tough life.....

Morning all, bright and sunny in Hastings again. April was a bit like may this year, first time I can remember having an outdoor BBQ in April for a while.

Talking of BBQ's I always insist on useing old fasioned lumpwood chacoal, not into these gas fired things but I am coming under increasing pressure to buy a gas one. My argumenet is that the charcoal is all part of the BBQ experience and that its more friendly to the environment. I know its takes about 30 minutes to be ready to cook on but that doesnt really matter when your sitting outside on a loveley day ;-)

Discuss .....

So burning charcoal - a fossil fuel - isn't contributing to the pollution Spacie?

Good morning Spaceman, to be truthful it has to be the taste which wins for BBQ's, forget about the waiting around, forget about being harmful to the environment, if indeed it is, forget about the neighbours' washing, it is the experience that counts, the delicious taste of the meat. However, I have just one question why is it when there is a BBQ....the meat ends up black and inedible? And we still eat it, lol.

Oh yes have you gone off the colour red? I notice the lettering has changed.

Morning jeffmack, Cyprus lovely place and probably best to go now before it gets too hot.

Morning Keaydian, how are you today? Must be feeling better to want tea and crumpets ;0). So here they are.

no sign of Keaydian at all so far BL

Stockbunny, he had surfaced by 08.56am ;0)

Ahh too early - gone back to bed...
;>)

Perhaps, he is doing some work or contemplating what is in the mug of tea I gave him.

Bubble and squeek or Captain Kirk, Jeffie?

Bluey, Tea mixed with lemonade by any chance?

J Stratford, as if I would do such a thing like that, ;0). Anyway, he would know as the milk would curdle due to the lemons!!

I'm over here, you-hoo

Keaydian, so glad that you trusted my tea making skills and drank it, lol.

Ah there he is...
;>)

Bubble and squeek or Captain Kirk

Now I am confused Hils

Cockney rhyming slang, Jeffie. You really do surprise me!

Greek or Turkish side of Cyprus?

Lunch is served. Salmon caught this morning from the Cafe's Scottish stream, vegetables from the Cafe's garden in the Cotswolds. Alternatively, Beef from Welsh Blacks or a vegetarian option made with aforementioned vegetables. Now I'm going to take my pinny off and sit down whilst someone else does the washing up :-)

Bit slow there, should have been easy for a cockney geezer like me. Going back over Paphos way, tried for Larnaca side (Aya Napa) but couldnt get a flight back to Gatwick
