Re: Cant wait to settle in
Weathers lovely today its been very windy last few days .Was up at 5.30 walking my dog Sir Hovis along the canal, frosty but I like that. Its warmed up nicely now. Saturdays are my rest days and I may make an apple pie 'can't beat home made can you', then just be a nuisance to all lol .as I have just retired this month I want to know what resting is like so I may be in and out of here all day

Re: Cant wait to settle in
I always note the first smile of the day and today, it has come from your dog's name! What a lovely name - what made you call him that? What breed is he?You certainly can't beat home made food of any description and on a sunny day, what better than apple pie (we may ask you to share that with us now you've told us about it).
It must be hard to stop working (I missed it to begin with but stopped working by choice) and you do feel at a loose end to start with - then you rediscover what childhood was about and get stuck in to doing things you want to do rather than what you're expected to do - that makes a heck of a difference Tom.
I'm off out with my dogs in a bit and then back to paint my front door whilst the weather is nice - just have to stop the little rotters running past it and getting dog hairs on the wet paint (I've yet to paint without them appearing with paint on them grrrrr
)

Re: Cant wait to settle in
Sounds a whole lot of fun in the Ben-V household .Sir Hovis is a Lakeland terror. When I had him as a pup he was so docile and a face to die for. His name came from the fact he looked like a new bakes loaf from the oven Black on top and brown down his sides . His picture is on my profile. Now about my apple pies, they are eaten in a dark locked room, Its very selfish I know but O/K you can share as long as you only use a teaspoon and your blindfolded.20-04-2013, 09:01 AM

Hi Spitfire. Yes I bet it is. Spent my courtship and fell in love up there. it was our day trip out as kids with the old man. I heard the metal thieves (for want of a better word) ripped the roof off for the copper. There must be a few on here from the Midlands area. Have a good one .20-04-2013, 09:34 AM

You saying you eat a pie in a locked room - one of my friends in Birmingham was like that: if I baked cakes and gave some to her for her and her children, she would sit on top of her washing machine, behind a closed door, and eat the lot!
I don't mind using a teaspoon as I can scoop quite a bit onto such a small, meagre utensil cos I can balance stuff really well
blindfold no problem as I have a great sense of smell and I'll just listen to where I can hear the sound of your spoon scraping the dish
