Soop's Kitcheners...

Good to know she arrived safe and sound. Now for the fun to begin

Thanks bags

Oh my goodness I'm in a panic! For the first time since I joined GN the kitchen was not showing on my front list of topics . I have been searching everywhere to find the kitchen and eventually picked up the thread Where are you all? Have you all gone off somewhere without me . Was it something I said? I've brought . Perhaps if I lead a trail of crumbs outside the door someone might be tempted in.

Don't panic Captain Mainwaring Crafting! It always goes a bit quiet when soop's away.
She'll be back soon with some great pics to put on her profile.

In the meantime , put your feet up and have some

There was an awful lot of noise coming from the Leicester direction this weekend!

Rory prefers peace and quiet.

Just had a quick look round to make sure everything is spick and span ready for the return of the wanderers and it all looks hunky dory.Rory is in his usual somnolent state and I've left some welcoming and a tin full of apricot flapjack. Just a wee biting on with a nice if they are peckish when they get back.

Hope you had a wonderful clan gathering dear soop. It's awful quiet round here though without you both. Safe journey home!

"Haste ye back" Soop and MacSporran!!

I do hope that each of you has washed dishes and tidied up after yourselves. I do not want "soop" to return and complaining about the state of the house, especially the kitchen.

thatbags when are they returning? I must give the floor another mop.

I should have taken my shoes off as I brought loads of leaves in with me. Oops!
However, I also brought my nice handheld rechargeable dyson in my (very large) handbag so will vacuum my way out of the door. Are those cake crumbs I spy - OK, will clean those up as well as Rory doesn't seem interested.
Oh, it was you, Crafting, you are very norty indeed dropping crumbs everywhere. Never mind, all spick and span again.
I'll leave you to wash the floor, Charleygirl, I need a quick rest in the corner. Just bring me a coffee please, no

I always assumed that soop's kitchen was self-cleaning.

anno it needs, I think, an extra special effort to show that we care.

rosequartz coffee on its way, I will join you and Rory if you do not mind. I am another year older today and feeling it. Mentally I am still 29 but my joints are telling a different story.

I have a really exciting day ahead, a GP appointment and after that I have to buy a loaf of bread!

Happy birthday, rosequartz.

Many happy returns Charley

I have put some champers in the fridge for your return and we can raise a glass to you whenever any of us pop into the kitchen today.

No, not me anno!

Many happy returns Charleygirl, hope you have a lovely day

It is like mid summer here in NW London. More of it please!

I cannot be bothered to cook nor will I have wine-I am an old misery guts I know. I may splash out at the weekend.

Thanks for the birthday greetings, I am forgetting my manners!

soop and macsporran are currently back in the home country and spending a night in a hotel en route, complete with fish and chip supper. They will get home to rory tomorrow.

We had fish and chips too, made at home. I've decided I like haddock better than lemon sole

Rather late, Charlie - but hope you had a really happy birthday

Guests have gone to bed. Always so good and so easy spending time with friends of many years.
