I actually like this one and it is very creative. Personally I think that it is inoffensive. Love the punch line

I don't mind a nice salad. I usually use: Mixed salad leaves (home grown if poss) rocket cucumber toms pepper - all colours mushrooms radish celery red onion spring onions Like others here I use pasta - the spiral variety with a variety of salad ingredients and ham / cheese Cous cous salad is also nice

Still plodding through this. My reading has taken a bashing - daytime, bright weather = sewing, evenings - too tired and dosed up on painkillers for my back! Tonight Lewis is on so more time lost!

Inver and Kate - they are both lovely - look forward to seeing the completed photos

Been a bit slow reading this month!! Now starting Kathy Reichs - Deja Dead

My son loves the new Boursin cheese advert. A couple is having a very romantic picnic with said cheese in a wheat field and don't see the combine harvester in their path............. . He has a very sick sense of humour

I've read about 28 with about 10 on mount TBR

I was a bit disappointed with this one - not sure why. Penny Smith -Coming Up Next

An all time favourite:- To Autumn by John Keats Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness! Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun; Conspiring with him how to load and bless With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eaves run; To bend with apples the mossed cottage trees, And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core; To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells With a sweet kernel; to set budding more, And still more, later flowers for the bees, Until they think warm days will never cease, For Summer has o'erbrimmed their clammy cells. Who hath not seen thee oft amid thy store? Sometimes whoever seeks abroad may find Thee sitting careless on a granary floor, Thy hair soft-lifted by the winnowing wind, Or on a half-reaped furrow sound asleep, Drowsed with the fume of poppies, while thy hook Spares the next swath and all its twin

DH cooked a lovely roast pork & all the trimmings

I buy from small needlework shops, Hobbycraft, ebay or anywhere I can lay my hands on a kit. I also have numerous books on all kinds of sewing and needlecraft and often just raid my massive stash of threads

How I adore that scene - just to see those drops of water dripping off that handsome face!!!!! I love costume drama and no-one does it better than the BBC

My migraines are triggered by tiredness. I often have the threat of one where I lose half of my vision - which can be very scary when I am driving as this is my only truly functioning eye!! I've had these since about 7 yrs old.

Boiled egg with bread and butter soldiers Favourite - has to be the full English!

Jane Eyre is my all time favourite and I've lost count the amount of times it's been read! Wuthering Heights is also a great read - you won't be disappointed

I don't tend to read the intro - I prefer to launch into the main book as I like to form my own opinion and thoughts about the novel. Reading it in depth reminds me of my exam days.............

Quite enjoyed this one although, for me, this took a long time!! Kirsty Scott - Mother's Day

You'll find that when you mount the pictures or use them as part of another item (eg clothing, ) the overall finish is more pristine and professional looking. Pictures tend to be flatter within the frame Keep up the practice - once Xander starts playschool you'll have a few more hours to embark on a bigger project, then there'll be no stopping you That's a great way of keeping the back neat - ideal for tablecloths / runners where the back will be on view - best to get in the habit now
