Well that was a gusty but very mild walk up the hill. Really enjoying my walking just now Few other dog walkers including the lady I often meet and stop for a chat with and one girl on her gee gee from the local stables.

Next couple of mornings will be chilly as it's to get not that far off freezing overnight up here. Just have to walk faster!

Morning all

...........
I was so chuffed that I paid the £95 lunch bill and treated them all.

Would you care to add me to your WhatsApp group, and, I will turn up as a surprise?

No idea what a Staffordshire oat cake is but it sounds nice.

Mrs p has just corrected me It’s a Stoke out cake and being a Stokie she she should know.when we visit Mrs p sister or she comes to us we always stock up with out cakes

There are quite a few take away oat cake shops inStoke who sell them with all sorts of fillings.

They sound totally different from our oatcakes which are like thin, mealy biscuits.

looked everywhere I could think of......not a single Giraffe to be found.

You'll either trip over it or have it fall on top of you. Maybe time for an eye test.

There a bit like a pancake in shape and size.

Are these the Giraffes you are looking for?
7 of these.

Seven!
No wonder he went to get rid of one.

Anyone know how to get rid of a red notification that's stuck up the top and won't go away......it's bugging me.
Think it must be because I commented on the post that then got removed to the other place.

Ahh, yes I think I remember seeing them on a programme I was watching. Might have been Countryfile or something and they put filling in them for the person to try.

Mrs p has just advised me the ingredients are out meal flour and yeast cooked on a griddle and date back to the nineteenth century and we’re the staple diet of the pottery workers
History lesson over for today.

I have tried oat cakes but (wait to be shot down), I find them a bit dry.
