Oh "Twass Flatley" I'd pay to watch that ?

yesplease *holds out plate*

Evening An, the pie sounds lush!


Why not, we all have to be naughty sometimes!


Phwoar, that sounds divine! My mother used to make a sausagemeat casserole with tomatoes, onions, sausagemeat, herbs and layered sliced potato....gorgeous!

Oh that sounds delicious. Something to remember come winter I think. I used to stuff marrow with a similar concoction. Now I come to think of it I haven't seen a marrow for a few years now.

My ex husband used to grow marrows, and we'd pack them full of molasses sugar, hang them up in old pairs of tights and make marrow rum which would drip out of the ends of them!

I actually had a vegetable tart out at the weekend with mini twass which had slices of marrow on it along with peppers, onions, tomatoes and pesto. The marrow went very well and they had left the rind on which added a good texture

oh my god check out the sky it's amazing here all orange and purple!

It wasn't like that down south....a very clear night which slipped into blue dusk by degrees and now it's black as ink!

Stunning orange sky here, and a beautiful moon up.

lovely sky watching team

It's so lovely to see the sky, after two weeks of cloud on the ground.

isn't it just?
it sounds like i've had similar weather to you tk just blowing a gale and pouring with rain all august

was lovely to be dead heading in the sunshine and the sunset was breathtaking....glad you saw the sun, you need the practice for your holiday!

Doing loads of paperwork, but kept finding excuses to wander outside, brushing spiders webs off window sills, watering pots. Nearly tempted to remove my vest
Roll on holiday

Crikey, we've had a lovely summer down in Kent....loads of sun and blue skies! I've weathered into quite a decent tan just from gardening and pottering about That's the south east for you

*drops some lemonade and orange ice lollies in the thread so we can keep cool*

Thank you, I've just hoovered the cottage and I could do with one of those!! In only about ten days since the last clean up about a billion spiders have decorated my walls and ceilings I've sucked all their homes up now, bwa haa!

Thanks planets, I'm gasping here (not complaining!). Lovely day again, but clouding over now and heavy rain forecast for tonight and tomorrow.

Overrun with spiders here too twass! I like them though, they eat up so many nasties.
When are you festivalling? Glad the foot is behaving.

My friend arrives this time next week, then off we go next Thursday, back the Tuesday after. Staying in our usual farm B&B the Thursday and Monday nights, festival camping in the middle!!

Glad you had a lovely day tk....a lovely cool summer's evening is developing here with a little light cloud. Perfect!!

Evening all, as promised torrential rain, and so dark I've had the lamps on since 5!
Mrtk did my roots (first holiday prep) now dinnertime.

Ooh, nearly holiday time for us both tk! This time next week I will be about to depart for the festival

Fancy having a hairdresser hubby....does he want to come and do my roots?

Two weeks tonight I will be in my holiday bungalow
Think I'm a bit to creaky to be festivalling, might manage a sedate slow dance !
Mrtk is no hairdresser! But he does a good job, and keeps suggesting he sets up a little mobile colourist salon

My friend and I are both too creaky to be festivalling but it doesn't stop us

If Mr tk would like to chug down to Kent I could certainly use his services!

And that is why they will never grind us down!
If the money is right.....

Are either of you blonde if so I have learned a great trick. I stumbled across it by fluke on you tube. There was an American woman on there who used Jolen facial hair bleach to do her roots. I don't know about roots but I thought I would give it ago to give myself the highlights that the sun normally provides in summer (not this year).

It worked like a charm. The product costs about £3. I only needed to mix about a teasppon full so I have 80% of the pack still unmixed for other times. It is thick so goes on where you want it and it lightened the hair in just 10 minutes. Totally brilliant. I don't know how good it is for my hair but I'm only going donw a shade or so and adding a very few highlights in the fringe and around the face so it can't be doing too much harm .

Wow! That's what I need.....thanks so much for this tip. I shall be getting some ASAP!!

Two new Viking hairdos which mini twass' friend created!!
