Popping in to let you know last time I was here I said I was taking summer back. It worked. 
Since then we have have been enjoying lovely warm sunny days of around 20 - 24C and the nights have been around 10C instead of a chilly 2C. Very nice thanks, I knew none of you would mind, being used to cold, wet, miserable weather. 
I might just have one of those custard tarts mmm my favourite, thanks when.
Afternoon all! I'm late. Lost my shoes this morning and couldn't find them anywhere - I always blame J. I am positive his impish spirit is about moving things from a to b just to keep me on my toes! Anyway, I eventually, after much tearing of hair, crying and shouting, found them in the larder - as you do, so panic over and here I am. What's for lunch? Any of Bez's pasta left?
Soop the photo was taken on Saturday at a rather wild Golden Wedding lunch party 
Soop not sure what a boggy brae is. (It's not a Scottish euphemism for something is it?) Feeling VERY naughty today - must be the maple syrup.
Just had such a compliment from DH - he is not a pasta lover at all but short of ideas and friends coming this evening decided to make it for lunch - did a sauce using shallots, mushrooms, garlic, smoked salmon and crème fraiche - he usually moans all the time while eating pasta - this time he told me it was the most delicious thing he has tasted for a long time!!!! Then asked if there was any more. 
--- will take me the afternoon to recover! But I need to get on with the apple pie - will do a second one for everyone here as well - will pop it in later. 
Zengran Lovely to see you.
Ariadne...spluttering coffee and shortbread all over the place!
BerylBee welcome to the kitchen for wacky, wonderful women... 
Gaga Crispy bacon and maple syrup... Stop it this minute. You're getting me into some naughty ways. However, as it's almost lunchtime, I'll indulge.
I've been for the morning hike around the village and stood in the wee shop for an age blethering...as you do. 
Dead-headed lots of flowers and instructed Mr soop on which flora to dig for Bags to plant in her boggy brae. We're meeting in Lochgilphead tomorrow. You lot will be in charge of the kitchen. No bun fights allowed. Rory a tad nervous at the mo'.
Gally your photo on Facebook is lovely. Were you with your grandchildren at the time?
LizG Enjoy the time shared with your grandson. Tell us all about it when you return.
Nellie big hug from me
number ditto
Bez ditto ditto
Gagagran that's just what I fancied! How did you know? Thanks, will just help myself.......
Hello Beryl Soop and anyone else in the kitchen, so glad there was a wee piece of apricot flapjack left, I've been looking forward to it all day!
I'm psyching myself up to watch the 'Bake up', you never know it might give me ideas as to what I can bring along tomorrow 
Welcome Beryl - this is a very good place to start! We all like to come on this thread and pretend we are in soop's kitchen so you will find all sorts of chit chat and calorie free goodies! Hope you have a good imagination!
It's so exciting waiting for your first grandchild - and that excitement doesn't fade once the baby is here. Good luck and happy posting! 
Just made a quiche for our supper so brought one around. I will pop it into the fridge in case anyone fancies a slice for lunch tomorrow. Had a busy day on WI books today then am looking after 18 month old grandson for two days so may not be able to pop in for a while 
Gally I heard something on the radio about how much people spend on impulse purchases in the Ikea bargain bins. It's a goodly proportion of their total sales.
A cup of tea and the feet up for 5 minutes would be good. Went to Ikea to look at a specific chair for my bedroom and for material for DGS bedroom - came back with : a sunbed (I know, it's the end of summer), a lampshade for DD because it has owls on it, a cuddly toy (yes, really - a panda), a laptop case to match my suitcase, a jar of orange and elderflower marmalade, a pull-along truck for DGS 'C' word present and a couple of storage files, but no chair or material. That's the story of my life......... Yum, very good flapjack Gaga - don't mind if I have a 2nd?
Soop - as you know, I am a great believer in what will be will be; perhaps they weren't the right people for your lovely wee hoose. Someone will be along soon or, perhaps you are meant to stay there?
Know the feeling well, *Bez
