My neighbour is the same and we have a good moan about the cats chasing our birds. <br />Must tell you about our daughter and eating out. We have always taken Emma out to eat from a young age so she used a knife and fork properly and isn't a fussy eater. She always tried things and would eat proper food rather than nuggets and chips. When my sister was 40 we went out for lunch at a posh restaurant and when my sister booked the table she was told they didn't like catering for children and she must behave. My sister told them very snootily that of course she would behave and would enjoy the roast dinner. Well there we were surrounded by old people who got up and wandered around, were rude to the staff, walked out half say through the meal to smoke etc. Emma's sat beautifully ( in a pretty dress with lovely plaits and hair ribbons) and was a delight. My sister took great delight in pointing out to the owner that her niece was shocked by the behaviour of the old people. Emma was about 3 or 4 at the time so we had a good laugh about that. We haven't gone back to that restaurant! <br />Well I must go to bed now, I must come in earlier tomorrow, had to get food shopping this morning and make Easter cards this afternoon as well as having 2 visitors. <br />Night night everyone sleep tight. Now, where's that cat.......

Sorry I&...Hi Sandra and all the coffee shop ladies. Sorry I'm late, fell asleep reading the comments last night before I could tell you all about our tea! I've caught up on today's news, what a lot of winners we have Amongst us, Jess and Norah if you get a beautifully decorated ransom note for the cat asking for all your winnings you will know it's from Muriel ! Cheryl my lovely, what a fantastic win for you, enjoy your goodies. <br />I had to laugh about Oliver and his palm cross sword, I can remember my daughter doing the same thing! Well it's something he will always remember.<br />Ladies I'm with you on dressing up to go out. I do like to put on something nice when I go out, even if we go out to a pub for a meal I wear smart black trousers and a top, unless we are out for a walk and call in. It didn't seem right when we went out for a meal in aberdeen last week wearing jeans but we had only taken clean t shirts and undies to travel light. I seem to live in jeans these days so make the effort to put a skirt on once in a while! I did wear a skirt and blouse for afternoon tea and high heels! <br />Tea was lovely, the hotel is a beautiful country hotel so the front door is opened for you and you enter to a big log fire and wellies lined up along the hearth for guests to borrow to walk around the estate! It was quite busy which surprised us, but afternoon tea is getting quite popular these days. We sat in the lounge by the window overlooking the grounds, lots of daffodils and a couple of squirrels. We had 10 choices of tea to drink, I went for Darjeeling and Julian had lapsing suchon. We started with a sandwich selection, cucumber, smoked salmon and cream cheese, ham and mustard and a little brioche roll with egg mayonnaise. There were fruit and plain scones with cream and jam, warm from the oven. To finish there were 4 cakes each. A banana and passion fruit macaroon, a choux bun filled with Apple and toffee with a lemon drizzle on it, a shortbread biscuit with chocolate mouse topped with a mint crisp and chestnut cream and finally a sponge base with a strawberry mouse on it and topped with a passion fruit jelly and a little meringue. Oh and I forgot, we started with an amuse busche of warm apple juice in a shot glass topped with a cinnamon foam. The whole lot was really delicious and I couldn't eat anything else for the rest of the day. We also had gallons of tea to drink so I had to visit the posh ladies loo too! I do like afternoon tea, it's rather decadent isn't it( and yes the cup handles were so small you had to stick your little finger out!). People having tea weren't too badly dressed, there were a couple of ladies in jeans but they didn't have rips in them. My mum wouldn't let us go anywhere in jeans , shopping was ok but not out to posh places. We used to put on our best clothes to go to London. When I occasionally went up to our head office in London I used to wear a suit and smart shoes and was horrified to see most people walking around wearing jeans. I could never do that. My dad used to work in London and always told me to wear something different to work every day as people notice what you wear . I still think it is true today. My lovely husband only wears bow ties, he doesn't look right in a long tie now (except for funerals). He has got quite a collection some with matching waist coats. Most of the time they don't wear ties at work but if he has a meeting, especially with a client he always looks smart and wears a tie.<br />I've just noticed the time! The clock in the lounge hasn't been changed yet! Whoops. <br />Sandra your card is beautiful ( how rude of me not to comment on that first - sorry). I had gold and cream today, I was wondering where you got the gold ribbon from!. It's a bit like that dress that was different colours to different people! Love your stick pins and the way the die gives a dotty boarder. So pretty. <br />Diane Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04007431860077443115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-21025835908538327452015-03-30T23:12:47.303+01:002015-03-30T23:12:47.303+01:00Hi Sandra and Cheryl, reading about your parties w...Hi Sandra and Cheryl, reading about your parties with a frock and dressed up beautifully sound lovely so it's sad that it's no more.<br />The only time I been dressed up properly was at my OH x-mas parties and every time I felt not right because I'm a jeans and top person and felt so uneasy all night long. Oh it's were a few posh weddings as well so please do you think we can go casual in October ? <br />hugs Maria xxMariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05672255244916708700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-23057176934949521762015-03-30T23:09:34.106+01:002015-03-30T23:09:34.106+01:00Just popped back to see what you have been up to a...Just popped back to see what you have been up to and. Has it been decided yet whether we are keeping that blooming cat. Well if we are can I suggest either a flea collar or even better can we shave it. If we do shave it I think it wouldn't affect my allergy. <br />Janice, you have seen Andrea Bocelli, I am so jealous. I am deeply in love with that man. He's the only man I would swop my husband for. When he sings I go all woozy. I have every cd he has ever made and his biography as well. Haven't gone so far as putting up a picture of him, but that's only because I don't have one.<br />Myra, you are vertically challenged as well!! But my dear, you are taller than me. <br /><br />Has anyone noticed Brenda and Muriel giggling in the corner. I love a happy drunk. Cheryl is a bit giddy as well. Isn't it nice to see such happiness.<br />Hugs Saba xxxxTooth Fairy Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05102182308435269314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-18778056590936923192015-03-30T22:54:16.828+01:002015-03-30T22:54:16.828+01:00You lucky bunch !

For one reason and another nobody wanted to be the organizer so it just folded.
