Ooooh, I'm in love ... with Wells! What a beautiful medieval market/cathedral town. It's actually a city - England's smallest city. The cathedral there is magnificent. In fact, it's overwhelming in its majesty and architecture. I think Wells will be seeing a lot of me in the future as, not unlike the City of Bath, it's very easy to get around in the core areas.
While in Wells, I bought a lovely red berret (haven't owned one of those in years) and saw quite a few things I wouldn't mind getting at a future date - unfortunately, not a pony (sad :-( ).
I checked on the Internet this morning. Our weather is similar and we're both at -2C. So there we are, both headed toward spring. Woop-te-dooh and tra-la-la.
Gill and I watched Billy Elliot last night. Although we had both seen it before, it was just as pleasant again. Now the idea is to get to see it on stage in London. Anyone interested????
We're planning to have six people in for dinner on Saturday evening and so will be preparing over the next few days. In fact, right after breakfast, I'll trot over to the butcher's and buy a couple of chickens, bring them home, Dr. Gill will slit their throats with her surgical knife, and then we'll both remove the feathers. The entire process will take a mere 15 minutes. Do you believe me? Or would you rather think of me buying chickens that have already been plucked and that are ready to be cooked? We're going to start preparing in advance as it's hard to get everything done on the day itself, as some of you well know.
I've been making my mother's brownies and dreamcake lately. They're so easy to do and never fail to be tasty. If anyone wants the recipes, please let me know.
Oops - time for breakfast. Eat hearty, me lads.

Hey Marilyn, blogging is great isn't it. I do envy you the country walks - it's so wonderful in UK (in the country anyway)to be able to step out of the door and have so many options.
And yes please, I'd love the recipes. Brownies would go down well here and - gas supplies permitting - they would meet folks request for cookies for our regular staff meetings.
Yes, Sandra, it's the perfect solution to maintaining contact with many people. E-mailing, while it is great, is so time-consuming that I can only reply to a few in a day - and the loop gets wider because I receive replies before I have time to respond to the others who have not yet received a reply (if you know what I mean :-).
I hope you will enjoy my mother's brownies. They are exceptionally easy to make and very tasty.
I'll post the dreamcake recipe another time. It's also a cinch and very popular.
