We've never watched the program.

" Vicar of Dibley" and "Only fools and Horses" are the best two comedy series ever made in my opinion.

Good morning all. When I got up, about 30 minutes ago, I opened the curtains and what do I see: a red car parked right across my driveway. :cursing:
Don't some drivers ever think ? What if I needed to use my car? So I made my breakfast and kept an eye on it and eventually, this chap with a purple top came out and drove off. He was a carer to an old lady from across the road but that is no excuse from showing consideration to other road users. When I let Molly out, she went straight to the gate, thinking: " What is that doing there? " We live in a close so there is plenty of space to park on either side of my drive so no excuse for obstructing it.
Right, this is my excitement for today so let's see what else is in store for the remainder. No ride possible due to my nursing duties for the last 6 days . Mrs G is improving slowly but still some way to go.
Wet and cloudy today.
Have a good one everyone. :hello:

Morning all :hello:

Nice day in the offing here on Exmoor.
Going to Dulverton this morning for a couple of drive bys, then lunch in the Bridge Inn.
We've ruled out Watchet as a place to live; the old centre and harbour are pleasant enough, but the rest of the town reminds us too much of Ilfracombe.:wacko:
Back home tomorrow.

Well here I am, with another cup of peppermint tea and ginger biscuit.
Now, I have said before that we eat very little in the way of cake etc.
So yesterday our son sent MrsD a lovely birthday hamper which included a Victoria sponge, 4 cherry bakewells and 4 scones.
So we hatched a cunning plan. Our daughter was calling later.......we would pass them to her on the QT.
So she turned up............ with..............
A chocolate cake :ohmy:.
So, what to do with a stack of cakes we can't eat.
What did you say your address was?
Assuming the trains are running, to time, can be there(Chester) around the 5:40 mark.

Barnet,
Good morning all.
The washing machine is doing it's stuff, there will be a second load after this one.
The dog is knackered after the exertion of the weekends walks and frankly, so are we.
So a short dog walk this morning, followed by grass cutting, a short bimble to the local grocers for some fresh fruit and vegetables, and then I can settle down to watch the Tour.
Another busy day in paradise :cuppa:
