That took me back many, many moons to my early 20s when I used to race karts, one of only a very few girls to do so at the time! But, as you say, getting down that low nowadays is a definite no no 🙁! Enjoy your day. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand there is a lions club in Barnsley, so they are around. I think you'll find there are well over 900 Lions Clubs in the UK zap, so keep an eye open when on your travels and steer well clear of any deer poo😁😉 Avril 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh no hope she’s ok. Very selfish if they knew they were ill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare P&O SUE Posted July 3, 2022 #35883 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Hello all, sorry I haven’t been around, it’s been all go since we got home from Guernsey. My parents have moved to their ground floor flat now but we’ve been over there nearly every day this week. There’s still so much to do as they still have too much stuff! Things have happened such as the built in washing machine doesn’t work properly! I’ve got our friend to go and look at it this Wednesday as she’s not really bothered about the dishwasher so we’re thinking of putting a new washing machine where the dishwasher is (that’s not built in) then turn the washing machine space just to a cupboard. In the meantime I’m sitting in my garden looking at their washing on my line! We did get out to a lavender farm not too far from us on Friday. 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare P&O SUE Posted July 3, 2022 #35885 Share Posted July 3, 2022 (edited) I’ve just remembered, I don’t think I’ve posted since Ventura did not arrive in Guernsey on Friday 24th. Such a shame as 3 other days we were there other cruise lines got in. I must say P&O do seem very cautious. It was grey and a bit damp first thing but it brightened up to a lovely day again and wasn’t as windy as other days! I know all about the notorious undercurrents at Guernsey but it really was a lovely calm afternoon. I expect the captain did what ours did last time we couldn’t get in and found some sun for everyone to enjoy on the decks! We were at Castle Cornet in the afternoon as our ferry didn’t go until 7pm!! The castle in right on the mouth of the harbour so we would have had a great view. Edited July 3, 2022 by P&O SUE 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is up and about again, got her ”freedom to move” text last night, still got remnants of cough and gets tired easily, but LFT shows only a very feint pink line against the T. There were 8 people on the course plus tutor, excluding the individual who carried it, 6 of course participate have gone down with, plus the tutor, the only one not to catch it was the oldest lady on the course, aged 80. Since then, 4 of the partners have caught it, I seemed to have avoided it, testing negative again this morning.

I make them every year and everyone seems to like them, at the bowling club last week there were complaints that there weren't enough and I should double up my recipe. My grandma, mum and aunts all used to make lavender bags to put in drawers and wardrobes but I don't like to think of my clothes smelling of it. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you share the biscuit recipe please, sounds absolutely lovely. I like homemade lavender syrup, lovely mixed with sparkling water and ice as a summer soft drink. (In winter it’s a spiced syrup with hot cider). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those portions look ginormous compared to the tasting menu we ‘endured’ af Ynyshir Hall a few years ago. We were laughing our heads off by the end of the ‘meal’ as they took it so seriously and in all honesty, it was so pretentious and bizarre. The portions there were minute and we were still so hungry when we left after 14 courses I think. The whole thing was a gift but I would have felt robbed had I paid with my own money. Anyway, Ynyshir has come out top of the Michelin Guide this year, so what do I know! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
