Yes! But I've already looked twice including once with a torch to check the back corners of the cupboards!

Crikey how deep are your cupboards.

Possibly.. Just in case, I've added some to my shopping list.. 👍

And that, sir, is how to find it.......as soon as you buy a new one you will find the 'missing' one. Trust me, I'm an expert

Just been for a tootle to Aldi some mixed grapes for my breakfast,they make cereal more interesting,sadly a bar of dark chocolate fell in to my hands,seemed a shame to put it back.

And does anyone remember Blossom Toes the "progressive" group from the late 60's/early 70's?

Nope..

I'm sure I've got an LP somewhere; I'll ask my friendly archivist to search the dusty shelves in the East wing of Manoir du Braconnier to try and locate it.

My word we ave some rich people on CC,one has cupboards so deep he needs a torch to look inside them,and now we have Poacher with an East Wing on his Mansion.And here is me thinking Drago was loaded wot wiv his butler like.

I'm making a Victoria sponge cake.. I can only find one of the brace of 7" tins so I've had to improvise...
Any ideas where the other one is? 🤔

It's not:
Behind me
Over there
At the back of the cupboard mixed in with all the other tins
Anywhere else I've looked so far

🤷‍♂️

It will be in the last place you'd think of looking.........

Thanks. Although the Jacobite train is a heritage railway, it runs on the mainline track. That is probably the reason then. Hope you enjoyed your trip.

I asked a chap on the Dawlish line about it. They have no locks on their stock. He said partly, as above, different on the main line but also speed. If not exceed 25mph you’re ok but of course on the mainline the Jacobite does far more

I have often said (if its not blasphemous) if I was the creator I would have made plants like blossom, daffodils and tulips etc last longer. Not crazy long but 10-12 weeks. So beautiful but so short lived.

I agree. It looks lovely on the trees

Good morning Mrs Welsh woman and all others.
A glorious day ahead weather-wise. I dont have a workroom to potter around in so today will be very quiet.
Have a nice day folk.
EDIT
you sneaked in there Pete. Good morning to you.

Morning. Took ages to nod off last night but seemed to sleep better towards morning. No doubt due to eating more crap yesterday. It’s going to be a gorgeous day and going to get quite warm later.

Good morning from a sunny Dorset. Popping over to visit a friend today, he was one of the " gang of four " who used to train together at the height of our running activities. Our best man at our wedding but sadly bed bound due to MS now. A couple of other lads are coming and we will be taking beer. He's relentlessly cheerful and it does sort of put other things that I sometimes moan about into perspective.
