COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

Thanks!
It keeps me amused

And us.

I'd take the wheels off.
Or two of them.

We once had to do a mental health assessment on a man brought in for driving on 3 tires. It really was a very silly request: the man was a habitual offender who was being pursued by the police in a high speed auto chase . His car blew out a tire (tyre for our UK friends ) but he kept driving. The blown out tire was shredded to bits in the police chase, so he ended up driving on 3 good tires and the metal rim of the fourth, which was throwing a shower of sparks in its wake!!!!! It was all very dramatic, but mental health evaluation was just plain silly. Don't know who thought he needed that!

Good morning, Bea!

Good morning, Adam!
Good morning, Roomies!

Good afternoon. It's been grey and dismal all day today, but we had a good time at Haddon Hall]/url]

It's been used as Thornfield Hall in more than one film production of Jane Eyre. It fits the bill perfectly

It's mostly candle-lit so my photos are a little dark

Hmm. For whatever reason, the app is only showing the first photo. I recommend you go into web view to see the rest

Silly, indeed.
I once got a lift from a chap whilst hitching and as we drove down a steep hill, a wheel bounced off down the road in front of us.
"Crikey!" we thought, "Where's that come from ?".
At the bottom of the hill is a sharp right turn, the car wobbled and went into the hedge! It was our wheel.

Another blackout in my village. It's darker than the CDR - not even jellyfish lighting the way. I'll bid everyone an early good night.

I have six photos on my laptop.
Very impressive, I've not been there.
Love the woodwork in the third photo and the chandelier and ceiling in the last, particularly.

Night, night, Lena.
Oh, dear, have a fun night by candlelight.
I quite like blackouts, it's exciting.

Here's the first batch of pumpkin scones (also have nutmeg, cinnamon and ginger in them)! There are 2 more batches to come, so everybody can have one. Got lots of honey butter, too. (Adam and Gillian, PLEASE behave!!!)

The kitchens are amazing, but too dark to photograph. There are probably photos on the website

Please can I have a recipe? I'd love to have a go at these I have a feeling they'd be good with a tasty Cheddar. What do you serve them with?

I just serve them with tea and honey butter. Never thought of trying a cheese...
