Hello... Happy Easter!

Its been a while since I posted anything and with computer probs that I won't bore you with (they're getting sorted) I can't attach any photos today... so just a quick update with news instead.

Snoop has fleas. He's bitten the hair off one of his legs. I'm fumigating the house.

I've cut all my hair off... again. Photo will follow when aforementioned computer probs are rectified. (This is not related to the fleas).

and.... I think that's it! Its been a quiet week!

Did anyone watch The Great British Menu the other night..? For Lucy, this is a TV show where chefs compete to be able to contribute to a fancy meal/ event. Last year they were competing to cook for the Queens 80th Birthday bash. This year I think it is for returning troops.

Anyway... they often show little clips of the chefs going off to meet with their suppliers (because it's very trendy here just now to eat local, organic food). And this week... one of the chefs went to.... Inverurie!!!! To visit the bakery... they have one best pie of the year or something...

The same guy then travelled to Alford and went to see the guys who produce the oatmeal there. Jennie Bond (ex Royal Correspondent and the narrator for the show) made a bit of a gaff by calling it 'AL- FORD' and pronouncing the L. Whereas we all know better, don't we..?! Oh she's SO silly! Ha, Ha! ;)

If you are really interested you can check the show out on the iPLAYER.

Talking of TV, I went to bed early last night and ended up missing the start of another cooking show I like: Hells Kitchen. So I may watch that later on the iPLAYER whilst Craig is watching the football.

And what else can I tell you about....? erm...

Aha! Lauren has confirmed her plans for coming down to Cornwall. She has booked a wee cottage nr Padstow for a week (commencing 11th of July). We did offer her to stay here (and Jordon and Ethan could have camped in the garden)... but perhaps she had heard of the fleas. But its worked out well that they have their own place because a friend of ours from Scotland is coming down that same week too, so it would have been a bit squashy!

I had emailed her and suggested we could try out the Camel Trail which is a lovely off road cycle track between Padstow and Wadebridge. But she responded by laughing and saying it's been years since she's been on a bike!!! So maybe not.
