It's Friday night, time to chill with glass of vino.. the front doors open, please help yourselves...:)

glass I hope today your mood has "lightened" and your day is a little if not brighter I'm sure someone will be along with another party before long (we all seem to need them now an again)...my little get together was a sort of chilled relaxing one..as Gransnet had been a little "fraught" that week.. but think all sorted now off to do some much needed decorating now (emulsioning the walls) etc so not doubt I shall need a stiff later ..although I may go Linedancing tonight..

biker I need one of your parties, I am in a right mood with myself tonight!!!!

Oh sorry glass my exhaust had dropped off! so was a bit noisy! but all sorted now oh! glad your back, we missed you the other Friday!

Don't bother apologising biker he makes enough noise for all the neighbours! . It's more likely he was angling to be invited in.

Glad you had a good time. Thanks, ladies, for finishing off the cake and scones, and removing all temptation!

well...I couldn' find anyone about..so I slipped into the lounge and just helped myself hic! I found Abba cd..wohoooooo I was boogiing quite nicely until your eighbours knocked on the door whenim64 so sorry about that..I shall go and apologise later

Come on in biker and park your wheels. Here.....scones, cake, Baileys and some Prosecco we've saved for you! Tuck in - cheers!

Hi biker your engine just woke me up I was having a nanna nap had a busy few days.

oh! heck! where is everybody? tut! missed the boat again..huhmph!

Roarrrrrrr roarrrrrrrr screeeeeeeech!!...swerve!!!!! engine off!!!.. ...........
........................ takes helmet off and swaggers in......phewwwwww almost missed it...was justg going to log off when I noticed

Pinot gris, primarily. Not that I think wine is such a bargain in France as it used to be. We have a huge variety to choose from here from far-flung parts of the world that are competing successfully with French wine. Many wine makers in New Zealand have qualified as masters of wine in France and some are, in fact, French. Cheers again

Cheers anno. What sort of wines did you enjoy when you were holidaying last week? I love shopping for wines in France. Every single bottle seems to be a bargain, in comparison with the UK

Cheeeeers!

There's a grumpy man here who I bumped into next door, having a bit of a moan at the ladies on another thread. Come on in unicorn, slide down into that armchair and treat yourself to some wine and cake. There now, doesn't the world look a bit rosier when you're in good company?

A soggy bottomed cake usually means I've forgotten to take it out of the tin.

Love cakes with soggy bottoms, the soggier the better merlo - ..... not when's scones, naturally......

OOh Prosecco. Cheers! Just what I need after busy day cooking for all and sundry. The scones are divine, when. Not a soggy bottom in sight.

Smacks lips! Your cake is delicious when. Blasted phone hasn't stopped ringing - didn't anyone realise I was just about to bite into a fab. warm UDP cake! Some people have NO sense of timing............

Fizzy water for me - no booze before bed (*bbb*)

Baileys with ice, anyone? Or (fishes around under chair) what about some Prosecco? Pass these glasses round. Cheers!

I need neither reason nor excuse to enjoy your delicious baking, when. Yummy!

I wouldnt notice when just what I need after a weekend of hard labour up at the house.

I do like Paul Hollywood Merlot. He's a bit critical, though - he would notice my scones are a bit uneven

Sorry, got delayed with the icecream - it was rock hard, but we're ready now. Ok, who wants some with their cake? There's Devon scones, strawberry jam and clotted cream on that tray over there. Help yourselves

Hey when - Is the U-D-P Cake still warm? Looking forward to a delicious slice....just finished supper and saved room for a forkful or two...

All this baking, when. Have you invited Paul Hollywood? (licking lips emoticon)

Crikey! Didn't bargain for catering size. I'm just putting a few scones in, too!
