Tea? (Part 2)

I can trace me back to Inigo Jones...
Hey, [I know I'm slow... light dimly burns for a second].... in that case how come there's only me and Dell then? Aha!

Just having a before loading up trailers and heading out to the craft fair with Arch.

Could do with a bit of food though.

<sings> 'ave a banana...

Right, better start lugging stuff downstairs to load up. Hopefully we'll come home with less stuff than we go with....

 

[Archie_tect]

...bet you don't.

Thought you'd all (well, not @potsy as he has broken taste buds) be amused by the conversation my friend and I had at lunch time. She very kindly made bacon and brie sandwiches - and then asked if I wanted lettuce with mine!!!

What was she thinking

 

[Lullabelle]

Hmmm! I always put a mashed baked butternut squash into my veggie curries. My sister gave me a giant stainless steel pan which I use to make 5 servings worth at a time, just like I did at the weekends when I was a student. (No, before you ask, potsy - I only eat one portion on the day of cooking and freeze the rest! )

I also love baked sweet potatoes and had one earlier - yum!

TVC makes a big batch of chilli or bol and divvies into separate pots. Quick and easy mid-week meals.

I don't buy microwave meals so when I find myself feeling hungry and I've left it a bit late to start cooking it is good to have a quick healthy alternative in the freezer to going out for a takeaway. It saves a lot of money too ...

Absolutely. We don't buy microwave meals either, expensive and full of additives. We are both a bit picky about what we buy and eat, not obsessive but try to be sensible

Me too. For example, I'd never buy shop's own "value" chocolate

Well we did, na na na-na na!

Sold a fair bit of stuff, talked to a lot of people about St Nicks where I work, and did the whole lot by bike trailer.

Also, didn't buy anything!

Well, maybe just a couple of very very small bars of fair trade chocolate. Barely noticeable.

But now, much !

 

[Arch]

ooooh well done, such self-control. Did you get any chocolate for Potsy?

What, and spoil his diet? I wouldn't be so cruel.....

 

[Night Train]

Photos from the day (well, the bike parts).

NT, with the racing bike's trailer arm attached to the left hand side of the rear wheel hub, how does it pivot to let you turn right?

The trailer drawbar has a bend in it so that it attaches at an angle to the axle. That allows clearance for the wheel when turning right. It seems to be a fairly standard arrangement for bike trailers that attach this way.
You can see it better from this photo of the trailer in my workshop.

Very wise
