Cookies, being of American origin, don’t feature in traditional British afternoon teas. Nor do biscuits... what Americans call cookies.

However, we had 4 different sandwich fillings : cheese & pickle, ham & mustard, smoked salmon, cucumber
2 scones each with plentiful strawberry jam and clotted cream
Macarons, banana loaf, sponge cake, millionaires shortbread, rocky road (not exactly British, but home made)
Fresh Strawberries

I’m happy to share the leftovers!
Yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Miss the good old high teas. :)

Terrible to be honest, it's not for me.
I have some other options I'm going to look into. I might be being too picky maybe, but I'm highly qualified at what I do, and don't want to settle. I've been urged to go into management, but I'm a very sensitive person and don't know if I could handle firing people and such.
I never minded firing people.
They deserved it.
But laying people off, because the work had dried up, or cutbacks etc was the most awful thing in the world. Hated it and found it very difficult to do. :(

Good morning/afternoon all.
The cops are coming around this afternoon - well at least one community PO is.
She was just going to go straight to their house but I wanted to show her what they'd done so insisted she call here first.
I get the feeling they aren't really interested in neighbour problems. :(
She said that she would go and tell them the law but if they denied it there was nothing she could do.
We'll see - at least they'll have the shock of a PO turning up and will realise I've had enough.
Hope everyone is having a good Friday!!

Good luck!!! I hope it works!!

Still no sign of PO - and she's off duty at 6pm.
Only 5 mins to go (make that 3 now)
I wouldn't mind but I've been waiting since 2 pm :(
Think my area must have been hit by a crime wave this afternoon - or at least something more important than destructive neighbours!
Should imagine I'm pretty low down the priority list.

Bonjour from Calais - the closest port to the UK; it’s only 20 miles from Dover.

Thought I'd share some postcard pics for you all of today's adventure. Yesterday someone told me to "Take a hike" so I did :D. The first two pics of the waterfall and river is one of the sites they filmed the movie "Deliverance" don't worry I didn't hear bangos! ( @Maro2Bear if you look on the rocks you can see some kayakers taking a break) This is Yonah mountain in North ga. Yonah is the Cherokee Indian word for "bear". There is an old tail about this place.
From wikipedia:
Yonah Mountain is the site of a Native American legend about a beautiful Cherokee maiden named Nacoochee who fell in love with the Chickasaw warrior Sautee. When their love was forbidden by the tribal elders, a war party followed the eloping lovers and threw Sautee off the mountain, with Nacoochee then jumping to her death, a Lover's Leap.
Very, very beautiful.:<3:
Thanks for sharing.
