I’ll let ye know when we leave. Thanks for the wishes - hopefully we won’t be leaving until after the weekend. Fuzzy hugs to The Ma and anyone else who’d appreciate them.

Best nights, Cellarites,

One has to be deft and move swiftly, Darling, and be a bit fearless about burns (ah. have just realised and accepted lack of deft). Hat off to your mother anyway. You grew up wiv skilled cooking.

I can see her now rolling them on the handle of a wooden spoon, or laying them over oiled oranges to make baskets.

She would have been 83 in June.
I never imagined her getting old, TBH

One only develops that kind of imagination when it’s likely too late to make a difference, mostly.

The single most underrated item of culinary equipment. Woe betide anyone who misuses or misplaces MY wooden spoon. (No hole in the handle, so much easier to keep clean when making bread.)

I use them quite a bit in Normal Times. Cheap, clean, plenty of breakfast, nobody waiting up to say “I saw ‘em comin’ in wiv a bag marked SWAG at half past three”. (Some of these considerations may not apply to you.)

Tweaks have been required to the PC’s functioning and the laptop has decided it’s had enough. So, I’m late in reply.

Thanks for the Cellarly assessments of Premier Inn. Although I’m not likely to be creeping in with contraband under cover of darkness, a B&B owner waited up for us once - we’d been to a folk concert and returned around 22.40 (I think she thought it was too much excitement for folks of our vintage).

It has been raining, and the humidity has shot up. A brief walk followed by shopping, I think.
