    Sag balti please Barbara and of course sag paneer too!!

    What l will say is that it isn't how much you DO for a child which counts, my Mum wasn't able to do much but my kids adored her. Your sense of humour and love are all they need :)

    love and ((()))

    Just popping in for my hot chocolate before bed. I've brought a new tin with me as it seems to be very popular. Glad you had a good day with Naimh Barbara. Hope you enjoyed your curry.
    Elizabeth, hope you managed to get some sleep after your mum-in-law had been. Bet it's warmer in Spain than it is here. Never mind, it's Spriiiiiing. :lol:

    Thank you for your warm welcome :).

    Barbara, years ago my hubby crazed me to buy an ice cream maker. I wasn't keen as I thought it would be one of those gadgets that would end up in the back of the cupboard. I was right...we've only used it a few times...but the ice cream was delicious. I really like the sound of yours - was it nice?

    We've had the sun this afternoon and hubby has been chopping some of the height off the apple cordons. I used to enjoy gardening too Barbara, even though I wasn't much good :)

    Mig...Shepherds pie with cheesy potatoes.... yes please...delicious.

    Hope everyone's had a nice day.

    The Shephers pie with cheesy potatoe. Suddenly bought back memories of home. My mum used to do it with the cheese and also she used to put baked beans in with the mince. It was the only way she could get everyone to eat it.

    Barbara, didn't see you there, sorry. Yes, lets hope so. It would be nice to have some warmer weather. Help the old bones.

    Afternoon all, Toni, as Barbara said you have been busy. And funny enough, lamb is the meat we having today. Haven't had it in ages due to the price. So really looking forward to it. Barbara, a strong coffee, does that mean you are having trouble in coming around this morning. Know what you mean though.

    Have a good day everyone.
