The Kelpies have lights inside of them and they change colour very striking when it's dark 🙂 We missed out on seeing them at night 😟 you are lucky to have two such good places to visit on your doorstep.

lincslady Posted 3 hours ago #62204 Share Posted 3 hours ago 'snap' was known as 'baggin' in Cheshire in my youth. I bet there were quite a few names for the midday meal taken to work in the old days; maybe they are still used. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picked some more tomatoes and sweet peppers from greenhouse, pulled a couple of beetroot for boiling. Sky has gone dark, so guess rain is on its way. I think you said you're a Wolves supporter.I'll sell you back your old manager for 2 beetroots.Or VNO perhaps 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplesea Posted 3 hours ago #62206 Share Posted 3 hours ago Morning all, A dull, damp, drizzly day again here and still mild. Why do things start to play up at night time? Got into bed last night and the smoke alarm decided to start beeping as the battery is getting low. Of course we didn't have the right size battery, so it's been beeping all night. We were hoping for a good night's sleep last night as we won't get much, if any, tonight as we are travelling up to Gatwick. Typical! Today's agenda is a trip to the shops, batteries on the top of the list, and finish the packing. Hope everyone has a good day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had my new car for a couple of months now and no food of any description has been eaten in it. It still has the lingering new car smell untainted by the smell of fast food. Looking out at the beautiful sea like we do on our P&O Aft cabins is what we like to do. I could still smell the newness in our last 2 cars when we traded them in after 2 years.

grapau27 Posted 51 minutes ago #62208 Share Posted 51 minutes ago Good afternoon. I have been out since 07.15am and had breakfast at the beach before seeing several customers. It is currently 12°C and the rain is pouring down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lincslady Posted 27 minutes ago #62210 Share Posted 27 minutes ago I think Christmas Dinner is always called that, regardless of when it is eaten. I know lots of people have it early afternoon; I have always preferred to have it in the evening, say 6 or 6.30. But suspect my family are in the minority. Often enjoy Boxing Day more, with cold bird and some of the extras, but hot roasteds of course. Much easier on the cook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josy1953 Posted 7 minutes ago #62211 Share Posted 7 minutes ago We always had tinned salmon for tea on Sundays too which is probably why I don't buy it now. I buy fresh salmon now and grill it to have with either salad or potatoes and vegetables. We have Christmas Dinner at lunchtime on Christmas Day. Boxing Day is a lazy day for me since I stopped having family around and I refuse all invitations to go to visit either DH's or my siblings. There are only 2 of us to cook for so it is leftovers from Christmas Day and then lazing in front of the TV and eating chocolates etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
