Thanks , you don't have to be precise about the quantities David I put in whatever I have at the time and it freezes well for the winter ..........

Leigh it isn't like salad and the courgettes take on a different flavour when they are cooked together ...... So you've got a Motor Bike , what kind is it ? you must come over and show us , we'll look forward to seeing it , be careful xx

What a shame your uncle is so far from you San :o( ..
You had better let us know when you set out Leigh then we shan't worry about you being lost in Thetford Forest ...LOL...
That's good idea Jane ( I'm guessing it's jane if it's to do with cooking ) I hadn't thought of putting beans in that will make it much tastier in the winter ....:o)
Mmm Janey I like the sound of that , ! I love veg. and cheese sauce a fabulous combination :o)

20 Aug, 2010

 

Lol Amy (big groan from Ray...he is getting runner beans with nearly every meal..) !! Plus have frozen lots and more to come. Am even threatening to make him a runner bean smoothie ! Lol

amy
Amy
 

LOL... Poor Ray .. .. I've got a good ice-cream recipe Jane it would look great green .... :o))

20 Aug, 2010

 

Oh dear Amy...Ray turning green at the thought of it LOL ! In fact...just a minute...could swear he is starting to look like a runner bean already ...feeling a bit strung out ! LOL

20 Aug, 2010

amy
Amy
 

He should be a good runner jane , a mile a minute .....LOL...

20 Aug, 2010

Amy
 

Well done Jane ...LOL... keep up the good work .. can't have Ray getting withdrawal symptons in the winter .... .. I have a friend who had so many beans the other year that a lot of the beans almost went to seed I seem to remember that she saved them in jam jars and used them in casseroles in the winter .. she took them out of the pods obviously ! I must ask her if it was a good idea or not ...... ........

20 Aug, 2010

 

Great to know that this freezes well, too, Amy. Means that I can make a HUGE portion at once. :-))

21 Aug, 2010

Hi Amy...definitely .I think he is half expecting to find them in his sandwiches for our day out tomorrow LOL !!

29 Aug, 2010

Amy
 

I would poke a few pieces in to surprise him Jane ~ I would love to see his face .. LOL.. I've been grateful for our beans this last week my son and his boys have been here on holiday , they left this afternoon , I'm enjoying some much needed peace and quiet ... :o)
Are you going somewhere nice tomorrow ? I hope you have a good day , the weather has been awful here today gales / tornadoes , trees down , one fell on a car near here ..... ..

29 Aug, 2010

 

LOL amy..I may just do that...Shhhh ! Hope you enjoy that peace and quiet ! Gales here too all day...the pond is full of sycamore leaves and the runners are leaning..re staked them and hoping for the best..branches down too.
Yes hoping it dies down s overnight.Ray working all of BH except tomorrow so we plan a drive up through the moors to a river bank in Glaisdale.Its peaceful there and a favourite spot to watch wildlife. Keep your fingers crossed for the wind to die down for us....x

Sounds perfect Jane have a lovely relaxing day I will keep my fingers crossed for the weather ...... we have an old Oak tree growing on the edge of our ditch , we were looking at it this morning there are very few leaves on it and they are turning brown some small chunky lumps have fallen down in our garden but we aren't allowed to touch it as it has a conservation order on it .. we are concerned about it because if it fell the other side of the ditch it could reach and hit our nearest neighbours property ...... :o(

29 Aug, 2010

 

Thanks Amy.That sounds scary. Was watching the old rooks nests today in the huge sycamore overlooking our garden...swaying precariously in the strong winds.Amazingly they stayed put !! Just been making said sandwiches...Lol ! Cant wait to see his face !!!!! Will blame you...........x Ps Popped a couple of raw pods in !!!

29 Aug, 2010

amy
Amy
 

LOL... I wish you could video Rays face Jane , don't worry i'm use to getting the blame in our house .. :o)) I often wonder how these birds cope in strong winds or any bad weather come to that , we are weaklings compared to animals ... xx

29 Aug, 2010

 

Couldnt agree more Amy...Night night..xx

29 Aug, 2010

 

Looks delicious Amy. Lol Jane. We've just come back from a week away, and Grandson was eating Runner bean sandwhiches. Daughter told him he had to eat them so he made a sandwhich. He looked rather green when he was eating it Lol. He's 12. :o)

30 Aug, 2010

Our grandsons have been here on their holiday Linda they love beans , they think it will make them into good runners ....:o)) ..... I've never tried a bean sandwich perhaps Ray can tell us what they are like after his picnic today ..LOL...

30 Aug, 2010

 

Lol. Amy. :o))

30 Aug, 2010

 

Hi Amy...well he survived the experience..just LOL ! Had a lovely day out Amy..the weather was not too bad..dry but very cold north easterlies blowing. Guess what...managed to get a couple of shots of a kingfisher. They are not very clear but think you can tell what they are. If you wanted to take a peek they are on my homepage of Ispyabird (where else ) ! I was thrilled to bits ..x

You were so lucky to be given a second chance Jane , more than most people in a lifetime ...... Ray won't take you again if you frighten them off ..LOL...

31 Aug, 2010

 

To be honest we saw a pair Amy and worked out where they meet up after patrolling the river separately !! Next time we go..soon I hope...we are going to camp out for a few hours...camouflaged wearing green...and SILENT ! LOL !

I've come back from looking at your pics Jane , you were so lucky the photos are amazing and the colour incredible , I would love to see one ... I can see you going there as often as you can , you must take a little tent and flasks of hot drinks to keep you warm ... and yes , no squealing in excitment ...LOL... in or out of the tent .. :o))

31 Aug, 2010

Amy
 

LOL... I made a risotto for our meal this evening using choriza sausage and some Mushrooms that Tony picked up the drive , at least we think they were mushrooms we weren't completely sure ........ perhaps I should leave a note on the table before we go to bed in case we don't wake up !!!

2 Sep, 2010
