STATEMENT OF INTENT!

I wish to make it clear that this is MY blog and as such I will be the only person who decides what I write on MY blog. We do not live in a muslim state and as far as I know we still have free speech in this country.
To anyone offended by what they read in this blog. The answer is simple:- Don't read it! I refuse to be censored by anyone!

Preston Parched Peas


Graham bought me these peas for my birthday. (dried, in a sack from the animal feed store!)
I think he won the bet don't you ? Anyway I have made some to sell at the coffee morning. The labels look good don't they?
Am slowly recovering from the bus ride to Lincoln, although my back feels as though someone has punched me.

Lovely weather




Graham told me he was gardening but he was so engrossed in thinking about it, that he never even saw me take this photo! The garden always looks nice when the weather is good. Even the baby chickens are enjoying the sunshine. Their days are getting shorter now and they go to bed at 6pm. When we first got the in May it was 9.30pm.
Sold 24 jars of jam at the coffee morning yesterday which isn't bad.
Went to Skegness on Friday to see Jean and Norman in their new caravan, other then that not a lot is happening.

harpist!

Went out last night to see a concert harpist. We were supposed to wear "evening wear" but as I haven't got any "evening wear" I just went nicely turned out in a little black dress. We were very relieved to see the harpist wearing jeans and a tea shirt! However......She then appeared in a long flowing ball gown. She was absolutely brilliant and could make the harp talk!
Out again this evening at a committee meeting. Graham is enjoying being in charge of the remote and when I come home he doesn't ask me how my evening went. He's too busy telling me about all the good things he has watched on T.V.
We have been trying to decide on a winter holiday but given the current financial climate we are a bit uncertain about whether prices will go up or down in the interim period so we are waiting a bit.
I am enjoying Anthony Montana's account of how he has to "do everything around here!"
There was a good joke going around which should suit him.
"How do you know if it's time to do the dishes, clean the kitchen and make the dinner?"
Look down your trousers and if you see a penis, it's not time!
Also enjoying the idiots who will eventually rule the "free world". At least most of our idiots are classically educated !
Pasta and Fish for tea so will leave it now.
