Happy Reunion


Happy Reunion

On a cold, gloomy day with threatening skies Harry and I headed out to the hills where we met up with Bloomer [Sandra and her Hubby Russell for lunch today, our friendships have blossomed through Goy. What a lovely time we had, high up on the moors in a cosy pub with a welcoming log fire. The food was warming, hearty and more than plentiful, enjoyed by us all. Its thanks to Goy that we have come together and developed such a great friendship, we can't wait until the New Year when we meet up again.

Hiya\0/ I've been trying to work out what those large pies were as they weren't mentioned in your menu. I settled for apple or mince. Specsavers here I come lol:-)

30 Dec, 2011

 

Bornagain ..
you're welcome to borrow Truffle's yellow specs ;o)

30 Dec, 2011

 

Lol B.A. They are state of the art place mats, dont they have a Wilkies in the Midlands ;0))

30 Dec, 2011

 

Think I really do need an eye test, they did send for me before Christmas. Looking through a back window early the other morning, I saw a small pure white bird on the roof opposite. I was so excited, but couldn't go to fetch my specs in case it flew away and I'd never know what it was. It was still quite dark and very murky and as I peered through the gloom, I gradually saw the outline of a magpie...did I feel stupid. Not quite as bad as Bloomers big cat adventure though, at least I never reported my 'find' to anyone:-))

31 Dec, 2011

 

Cheeky,Ba !! If my 'Panther' had been on a roof, I wouldn't have rung either ..Lol...good job my sighting didnt have white on it..I might have told them we had seen a Zebra !..even with my specs on.:o))

31 Dec, 2011

 

Lol:-))) Happy New Year:-)

31 Dec, 2011

 

Great picture, a good day had by all I would guess! My OH said he recognised the bloke with a white beard..he said he is always gatecrashing peoples christmas parties!

10 Jan, 2012

 

Thanks Tet..he not only gatecrashed,he butted in our conversation too..if we happened to get too close ,to smack his hand for being rude,he kept saying 'Merry Christmas'..very limited in his vocabulary.! We are going again on Saturday,so hopefully he will have gone back to the North pole now.:o))
