As soon as we go out!

we were only out for three hours but we managed to miss a phone call from Italy and a call from Sonia in Australia. it always happens!
We have just been to the fishing docks at Grimsby and bought some smoked fish. I bought a whole smoked Salmon which he cut in half and vacuam sealed it. I also bought a box of nine 20 inch long smoked Haddock. lovely.We looked at buying some shellfish but realised that we haven't really got time to use all these things up before we go to Australia so next time perhaps.
On the way back from Grimsby we stopped for lunch at the "Jug and Bottle" which is famous around these parts for it's carvery. We have never been before but have been meaning to try it for ages. We had roast Beef and Roast Turkey, Yorkshire Pudding, Stuffing, Peas, carrots, cauliflower,
Sweetcorn , Swedes, New Potatoes and Roast potatoes and gravy. for pudding we had toffee apple tart and custard and treacle sponge and custard. Coffee with cream and needless to say we were rather full when we came out!
It's raining and dull and I need to feed the chickens, although I don't know why. They have stopped laying!

Not long now.

It's not long now for Sonia and if winter comes etc. can we be far behind?
I have so many lists of things to do that I am virtually paralized into doing nothing! Jean and norman came which was nice and then I had a conversation on camera with Dean, he is going to come and see us, or so he says. I won't hold my breath!
I have been busy making a chocolate christmas wreath with Quality street. it's not finished yet but it does look good enough to eat. I will put a photo on when it's ready.
Not much else to report.
