CLOSED - THANKS to all customers for the last few years

Umh! keeping that to himself ;-)
I'll settle for a pot of tea and a danish right now..........Holga..... is she still here?

Crumpets lined up and sizzling!

Danish, opto....we do Belgian pastries at
the week-end too or would you prefer your usual?

Getting dark here now ...:-(

oh i see crumpetS ! yes I love them, opto I normally get mine in Sainsbury's, i think thers are much better shaped than some of the others..

Yes Spacie definitely a better class of crumpet in Sainsburys. Those haddock fish fingers are super too.
jj, What a pleasant change, Belgian pastries, yes please. Are you freezing up North?

Obviously frozen up jj :-)

Spacey, are Sainsbury's crumpets thinner than Tescos then?!!

Defrosting now opto, thank you!

Mulled wine heating by the fireplace, with the option of
brandy for those who prefer :-) Godiva choccies to continue
the Belgian theme!

Hammock heater turned on!

jj I dont know about thinner but as optimistic put it the Sainsbury crumpet is definitely more classy ;-)

The ones in the cafe had been bought by me
at Harvey Nicks food hall this morning - classy enough for you
two gentlemen? :-)

Forgot to say Spacey I am going through a book
I bought for my son "1001 Albums You must Hear Before
you Die" .......... it might be too much for your speakers
though with names like Captain Beefheart and his Magic
Band ........ now don't tell me you know them!! :-)

Never tried Harvey Nicks crumpet JJ, as for Captain Beefheart...play it all the time ...LOL
Good to hear you are keeping warm JJ. :-)

JJ, Harvey Nicks crumpets sounds classy enough !

Captain beefheart is something of an aquired taste but he is brilliant. I have some stuff of his on DVD.

Crumpet, now there's a thought!

Evening all

Cracking day at Haydock races and a nice Italian meal - just finishing the evening with a warmed Remy black label

Another foggy day looms. Bacon butty for brekkers I think.

Morning Socs.
Another sunny day here! Bacon butties ready in two minutes :-)

Fundy, does that read as "profitable" day at the races!!

Spacey, did you write this book?!!
Safe as Milk (1967) was the album ... I suppose you have
the Electric Prunes too, same year!! Getting to the late
seventies now, a bit more familiar :-)

Warm Danish set aside for opto.

I am heading out now, have a good day all :-)

P.S. Throw a log on the fire before you leave ..

Morning all, thanks jj, have a nice day out.

jj, fraid not, i can hardly write my name, Safe a milk was one of his first if not the first , the one i know has Trout Mask in the title. I have never spend to much time on the good captain, he i cited by many as a big influence and the DVD stuff I have is brilliant. I know the name Electric Prunes but not their stuff, in my opinion 1967 onwards is where things get interesting.

You should be onto my all time favorites soon, Van Der Graff Generator and Peter Hammill !

Right I am off out for a FEB in the Cafe in the Park in Hastings.

Morning all

gonna have to have my FEB here!!!

JJ - no not profitable this time but agreat days racing
