Bloomer's Shop window in Bakewell, Derbyshire

Bloomer has been up all night baking to get ready for opening time.. ;-)

Very nice, Bloomer, and yet you still look as fresh as a daisy! That cruise must have done you so much good;lol! Thank you Richard, for shedding light on Bloomer's business empire...now we know how she raised all that dough for her exotic travels....tee hee hee! :~))))

Yes Flori Bloomer is a lady of many talents :-)

Although I say it myself,it looks pretty good.I am absolutely shattered,it's no joke baking at 4am in the morning...but I must get a move on,as the Duke of Devonshire is awaiting his delivery of tarts ....crumpets anyone ?????/

I'll try a couple of tarts please Bloomer as long as they are tasty........lol ;-)

Oh Richard...trust you to take the bait! Bloomer, be gentle on him won't you?! LOL! :~)))x

Bait Flori ? Oh I am blushing now having read my post above again lol ;-)

Oh,rRchard,you fell for that ,hook,line and sinker....you should know by now,that Flori and I think alike...we have no shame...you are like putty in our hands,or as a Baker,maybe I should say dough..duh.LOL.

I am just a poor young innocent boy Bloomer and Flori, finding my way around the GOY site with plenty to learn I can see. I will have to be a bit more cute in future so that I am not taken advantage of. ...... lol ;-)

Richard, you are already cute, how can you get any better?? Wouldn't you agree, Bloomer? lol! Do you reckon if he is like dough that we should put a raising agent in him my friend....at 'yeast' we could try to get a rise out of him...lol, oh Richard, as if we would!!!.......... :~)))))x

You are such a crawler Flori...!!!

Yes, I know, but I am awful good at it, don't you think????Tee hee hee! Would we take advantage of our cute friend...? You bet your sweet bippy we would! LOL!

I think he is going to very much on his guard in future..Lol.Sorry Richard,we couldn't resist...just choose your words very carefully ,my friend.:o)))

Don't tell him that Bloomer, I am so enjoying watching the holes he keeps insisting on digging himself into.....He knows it's all meant in gentle jest, don't you Rich? He has pulled my leg so many times that one is longer than the other! 'Bout time I started teasing him too.....bring it on Richie lad! :~)))x

You can tease me anytime Bloomer and Flori be my guests I have done my fair share of it myself ..its good to have a little laugh isn't it..lol:-)

I knew you would take it in good jest my friend! (Phew!) Did you see what stick he gives me Bloomer? I feel no remorse whatsoever! I think that Bloomer and I have hi-jacked your page, Richard, but if it keeps you chuckling then that is not a bad thing.... :~))x

Looks good Richard, although having spent the last fortnight on Feta cheese and Ouzo, I will leave the tarts to you..Lol

Thanks Milky, it sounds like you had a good time away....can't beat Feta cheese, or any cheese for that matter, and a glass or three of Ouzo (or any drink...lol). Thanks for leaving me the tarts! ;-)

lots of goodies there richard and its nice to see flori being more her self . ;0))))

More myself than what Cristina? lol, Ah, you mean back to my sparkling wit and good humour....guess I have been a bit on the quiet side, but with you lot around me, I knew that you could make me smile again...isn't GoY wonderful?!!!!! :~))x

Glad you are back now Flori we have missed you, hope you are OK now ;-)

I'm just about surviving Richard, thanks for your lovely comment though, glad I have been missed! :~))x

Get thee behind me Mr Baker!!

You are one of the great survivors Flori as all can see ;-))
I like thy new avatar Karensusan ;-))

I can hear strains of Gloria Gaynor warbling even as we speak Richard! Like the very nice new avatar too Karen....Wasn't it Ocar Wilde who said 'I can resist everything...except temptation...'? lol :~)))

Yes, he said a good few things that are too true didn't he!! thanks Richard..it was a dahlia at Edinburgh Botanic Gardens..not in my garden sadly!

Thanks for the info on the avatar Karen, lovely dahlia ;-)
Yes Flori, I have always liked that song ;-)

lol richard and flori,, made me laugh at all the wit, so funny, lovely goodies , i can almost feel the pounds creeping on ;o))

Thanks Sandra nice to see you and thanks for the lovely comments ;-)

Didn't you know that Rich and I are the new 'Hinge and Bracket' of the comedic world, San?..I'm not saying which one is which though! lol! :~))

I think that I must be the hinge Sandra as I like to swing with the music. Mind you I am not thinking that Flori is a bracket..she is not fixed and can move very well also....lol :-)

I just think of me as being in the more 'supportive role', San!
That Richardpeeej is a cheeky devil, really!! lol! :~))x

Thanks for your support Flori,
I am not really cheeky,
Not even truly geeky.
Like cleaning out my shed,
and being there instead!
