Was a bit late coming to the discussion, but you all know there’s a standing offer of large quantities of the main ingredient, don’t you?
Rather than the usual pale yellow, ours were a quite resplendent orangey gold. The gurlz dun good!

Haven’t seen a report, otherwise, of the Gurlz, joe… Ye could trebouchet some over/up here but…
Did I ever tell you about me Mam, smuggling eggs? Well, she did. During WW2 she was a nurse in Newcastle, but her home was on a Northumbrian small-holding. Granny packed a ‘cardboard’ suitcase full of fresh eggs for Mam to take back to the hospital, where she worked. Waterglass was employed, I believe. Mam was stopped at Newcastle Central by the police, who asked what was in the case. ‘Eggs’, she replied and he didn’t believe her, letting her go to enjoy the contraband with her fellow workers.
Our pancakes were a bit rich, which just serves me right. (Must learn how to scourge, in a future life.)

And awaiting orders from Cellarites (in their dreams).
Best sleeps, all,

If I were to say “Blimey, so that’s £168!”, you’d hit me, wouldn’t you? Which wouldn’t be good for your hands, so I shan’t.
I merely had the fun of deploying the laundry with the assistance of a cat who was desperate to get Involved… The late and much lamented Pidge was a terror for the washing, particularly sheets, when she became Satan’s laundry-maid, but Oaf hadn’t been so interested. Until tonight. Git-cat. But quite disarming when he comes downstairs on his ear out of sheer Joy that one has come home after a 2-hour shopping foray.
You need rest, Dahlink. And probably a middle 'normous Pitcher.

Should cool things down a bit for when I get there 
But what a nuisance. I hope you don’t have to go Out in the wretched stuff, dear Chatelaine.
A final glass of wine is going down the me, it not technically being Lent until I have gone to bed. Actually, tecnically it absolutely is, but you know what I mean. Well, I do, anyway.

Dark Mild, Taylor’s, Thwaites, Bass, Tetley’s … my weaning* drinks and very much the stuff of a South Lancs boy.
*Once I got past lager & lime … my 15yr old entry level in pubs. Do you recall when being 15 or 16 in boozers was quite the norm ?
