My hot matches are usually like that as well Rita.

I did the same thing when my post vanished, I thought I'd put it on the wrong thread and started looking around for it. It's gone off into cyber space somewhere!!

well Marilyn you have got that sorted well I must say congratulation on that.

I just went to post a letter and wore a short jacket I was surprised how cold it was out. I only went into the post office and Waitrose to get some cream for my strawberrie.

Sue I meant to tell you when I was in Cockington Devon on holiday last JUNE (Cockington being the ancestral home of one of my GGG Grandmothers Susannah Mullock) my sister and I went for a carriage ride around the estate when the driver knew we were related to the Mallock family he took us right round the estate and he also took some photo's of us on the horse and carriage . I had one enlarged and it now hangs in a nice frame on my wall in the living room. with the Estate in the back ground. I was really pleased the way the photo turned out. It is a lovely horse he told us it was 8 years old and belonged to his daughter who was working in America for a few years so he hitched it to the carriage so it got an outing I asked how long they did in a day he said 4 hours then he changes them over he had four horses.

Thats right Marilyn
The village school and Post office all the houses the Anvil shop and sweet and paper shop are all thatched and the only one I think ? that is not is the church.

IT will keep if you put it in tin foil till you can find a square tin . I kept a cople of mine in tin foil for 6 weeks as I had made some for friends all square cakes..
your find you mazipan is easier tio fit around a square cake. and a tip I found buying the mazipan already made is better than making your own because it is already drained of the oil that mazipan holds where as the home made often keeps leaking and when you ice it will keep showing through.

This only my view. others might disagree.

well I am back home I left here at 2.15 and it is quiet away we arrived at 2.45 my appoitment was for 3 o'clock at 2.55 the Doctor called me in it was Dr Francis she is a lovely doctor. she said you dont look well ? I told her why and gave her my list of side effects I told her being of the Inferon for two weeks i felt fine but going back I felt terrible. she looked at my Warfarin level and said that is low.
she told me she wants to see me in six weeks time at 3 oclock but she is going to send me for another scan at Ashford and St Peters hospital and will have the results in by then. but she has taken me off the Inferon injections she said it is not doing you any good but will wait to see what the scan shows before trying something. else.I was home by 3.35 I cannot beleive how quickly I was seen to day so now I wait for the appointment for the scan.
I go for my Warfarintest tomorrow so I hope that has improved.

thought I would let you know. Thank you for your support .
love

Mo, I hope you boiled them first, those bloomers might have seen quite a bit of action in their time.

Rita, that was good going at the hospital, it must have been record time. Hope everything goes well tomorrow as well.

Marilyn, who is going to do our make-up and hair for the wedding? Mo doesn't seem to be doing much apart from being bridesmaid.

What are you like as a hairdresser Mo?
