Sipping wine and eating cakes Is what we do best, for goodness sakes The coffee’s good, the tea is fine But I enjoy my glass of wine Unless of course you offer champers (the type you get in luxury hampers) Very wet I've been today Caught without a brolly I must say Weather looks good for the weekend I think So go on out folks, forget the kitchen sink Xpect Ron will be around at the weekend And more wine he’ll bring, you can depend Yes please to flagons of tasty red Grapes grown down by the brilliant Med?? Zipping off now, my bags to pack College in the morning, alas, alack

Please Tara make us all some cakes, Meringues, cookies or tray bakes. Quickly issue invitations to us weary folk Its been a hard week and that's no joke! Rest assured I will bring some drink. Fruit juice, coffee or wine do you think?

Out with the recipe book what shall we have let's have a look homemade quiche, shortbread or fairy cakes?? the mouth waters, what shall i make.....

Not a slice of cake in sight or a cup of Yorkshire tea! Oh, to think I've waited half the night - when I could buy one get one free!

Kept the cake Chrispie just for you someone ate it and its gone too Lo and behold the fridge is bare will go to Tescos and buy some fare My goodness what an awful queue sorry dears no tea for you

I seem to have missed all the cakes and the fun. Did anyone save me a currant bun? Just popped in to see who was there and found you had eaten the last eclair!

Cruising down to Betty's on a sunny afternoon is a better bet than stepping in poo, like wot Tara Did do, and 'Er with the flu Flymo-ing the lawn! Give her a pastry, shortcake or a choux Help yourself Tara before they're all gorn!

September the 21st, and about to burst El scorchio weather in autumn never! Mowing my lawn pricked by a fawn oops stepped in doggie doo sore throat and the flu But hey the sunshine's out and not for long I doubt so lets make the most of it each & every bit.

Alas our Bettys is out of bounds six cakes cost me over twelve pounds ....very special occ But at least we dont add on the lb so we stay slim not very round ??

Very few places do really nice cakes A good pastry cook would be all it takes Well all this talk of food makes my tummy rumble So I’ll have a sandwich, which is rather humble Xtremely tired I’ve been all day, it’s true It happens that way when I’m feeling blue Yet the sun is shining, the dog been walked And to my friends I have sat and talked Zipping off now to read another book But will be back later to have a look

U wouldnt BELIEVE the prices in Bettys but cor its very posh you can buy their lovely cakes if you have lots of dosh!

The brew is ready, I'd like Typhoo milk, no sugar, how about you??

Okay, the kettle's boiling, Dee, green, Earl Grey or Typhoo tea? Nolls, so posh, in Harrogate, please tell about Betty's while we wait for Barbara and the gang to show - Quick please tell us what I wanna know. Really hoping that Betty's do cakes, got Sugar withdrawal and getting the shakes! lol

Least you want to borrow some in Harrogate we keep it quiet Magic is the word we use in case it starts a riot Now posh we are you can bet we have Betty's don't you forget

I wonder, Joy, if the smell has gone? if not sit back and put the kettle on Just relax, let's have a cup of tea perhaps Barbara would like to join you and me? Keep sitting here wondering what to do then pop in here and join all of you ;-)))

Cabbage and leek is a nice combination thought I'd give it a try- caused me wrath and consternation when I let the lot boil dry. Dire was the smell right through the house, charred and black was the pan, soaked it in salt for a day or two, scrubbed up well, as good as new. Exceptionally boring tale for you- I'll liven it up if I can. For what was I doing when I burnt the greens - two of my five a day? Genealogy? Belly dancing? Can't blame you for asking. How was I to watch the stove when I was multi- tasking?

Bye they've battened down the whippets up the road at Mill the trams may all stop running we'll all have time to kill but I'll boil an extra flat cap so we all shall eat our fill then we'll sit beneath the gas lamp as we carefully mend our tripe and listen to the wind up gramaphone electric is for posh folks them down in the south I've heard they have it in Harrogate not that they put it about!

Afternoon is such good fun just got back, gave the dog a run

Xpected to be left with X Y and Zee That Godfather always does it to me Yes, I had a brilliant anniversary day Hope many more will come my way Zipping off out, for a day with a friend But first to you all, good wishes I send

Unpluged the champaign and i toast to Dee n hubby May you have many more happy years, n lot's of bubbly
