The Retirement Thread

I know I've asked this before but can't find the thread.....what's the difference between Grockles and Emmets ?

We really need someone from the area to answer this but my understanding is Grockles are tourists whereas Emmets are people, usually incomers, who are not from Cornwall.

I thought Emmets Cornwall, grockles Devon.

Wet snow........ I have had enough of the late Soring. The list of things to do on the allotment and in the garden gets longer by the day. Grumpy about this.

In other news. I must be bonkers, stark, staring bonkers. A few weeks ago the eldest said “Why don’t we go to watch the Rovers at MK Dons?” Sounded like a good plan at the time so I got three tickets.

I suppose driving to Milton Keynes will be OK. Watching the mighty Rovers will be as good as ever ........... at the time I didn’t give much thought to travelling back up the M6 on Easter Monday evening.

Still my boy has a nice big, comfy car and I can sleep anywhere

Now there’s an interesting thought I always say “in the garden” but “on the allotment.” What’s the difference?

Anyone care to ponder that for me??

The garden normally being an enclosed area, the allotment not so.

Good morning, piddling down in Coventry this morning, it looks like our outing is cancelled. Anyone seen an old man building a boat?

Sounds like an excellent, well thought out plan.

Grockles are found in Devon; Emmets are found in Cornwall.

Quick 3 miles in the hissing rain, but its not even 9am and its done. Shower, coffee, and superfit me can chill out round the house in shorts, safe in the knowledge that should Carol Vorderman ever happen by she will instantly admire my chiselled pins.

 

[welsh dragon]

I bet she would really be impressed with your pork pies as well Mr Drago.
