Welcome.
Here we are again
Happy as can be
All good pals and jolly good company.
Never mind the weather
Never mind the rain
As long as we're together...
woops we go again. 
Quick rush in and so much to catch up with. As kitty says, please stand still.
Love all the photos, vistas, wildlife and gardens which are sanctuaries I think. I’ll add a couple of our tiny patch.
That does sound encouraging nonna, as does your post panache, hope macs has a similarly positive outcome soop.
Goodness, greyd, that sounds a bit of an adventure. Pleased you made it safe and sound. Just be careful out there.
Not long until your respite ann, I can understand waiting until after your friends have visited. Good friends are for cherishing.
I’ve felt as if I’m running up a sand hill, a step forward and a slide to the bottom, Today has been frankly horrid, never mind, tomorrow has to be better. I’ve got a glass of chilled white now and having visited the kitchen feel a whole lot better. So thank you soop.
Apologies to all I have missed, I’ll try to do better next time. Take care everyone.
Sorry to hear you have had a horrid day corner I echo your hope that tomorrow will be better.
Especially towards the end of the day when I feel sad I console myself by thinking I will feel better tomorrow, and then wonder how on earth people cope who fear that new day.
Apologies, a bit philosophical and not meant to be depressing.
On a brighter note I have just booked to see Maxine Peake in “Happy Days” at Manchester Royal Exchange, going with another well known and respected Kitchener 
How strange, Maw, I'm also going to Happy Days with a well known and respected Kitchener
annodomini great minds obviously think alike!
Happy birthday CallGirl.

Happy Birthday Callgirl , is there cake? ???
Glad to hear Ann has some respite sorted.
I am way behind on everyone else’s comings and goings , so I’ll just say hope you’re all doing ok and I brought cake.......???
The briefest of Good morning`s to my new friends in Soop`s kitchen,trusting each one is in good health and spirits,with special concessions for those we know to be struggling......Your Mac Sporran too soop....... although I know little, but am learning fast!
Had a few shocking nights and feel twice as old as I look......and that really says a lot!.......so I think head down and some rest required before I do myself an added injury.
Love the garden pictures,what a treat......and your paintings soop.
Happy Birthday Callgirl....... and
Have yourselves a great weekend, the weather seems to be playing ball and sunshine is prominent here in West Wales.
Bella I’m Heraklion
The storms didn't materialise. It's yet another glorious day. The sea shimmers. There is a refreshing light breeze. Wonderful!
NonnaW I would also like to echo the message received from Maw. We have two good pals undergoing treatment for Prostate Cancer. Both are responding well and remain in good spirits.
We visited the garden centre this morning. It was a real treat to wander through a maze of flowers and shrubs. Wonderful perfume in the air. We bought some unusual greetings cards. Our friend has a birthday on Monday. We then wondered whether her husband in the care home had remembered to ask a member of staff to buy a birthday card for his wife. We carried on into Campbeltown and helped our friend sign his name after a brief message contained in the card. When friend arrives on Monday, she will be very happy that her husband remembered her birthday.
Alygran Puffins are amazing. Your photo is super.
Welcome back newist...
callgirl1 A very happy belated birthday message to you from the Kintyre Two. We said hello to David earlier. The campsite is fully booked and the sun is shining from a cloudless sky.
N&G Thank you for the delicious cake. It appears to be calorie-free. 
corner The rose is stunning. Does it have a wonderful scent? We have some wild roses growing in the hedge row. I cannot walk by without stopping for a moment to drink in the heady perfume.
Maw Please enlighten us lot...who is the respected and well known Kitchener? The mind boggles.
Bless you, *Panache^ for taking the trouble to keep in touch. Please rest and allow yourself to be pampered well cared for. We want you feeling hearty and back with us lot where you belong.
Galen The delightful Bellasnana appears to be totally in the holiday spirit. How about you? Have you been behaving? Is the butler harassed? Whatever...carry on enjoying yourselves. You deserve the treat.
Ann Loving vibes coming your way.
Ooh!
I sense a mini meet up coming (nudge, nudge, know what I mean)
Hello folks. Today has been the day of the experimental cake, and I fear it is something of a disappointing effort. Why experimental? Because it is an American recipe and I struggled with converting the cups to something I could vaguely understand, because I was always rubbish at arithmetic! Anyway, It has a lot of liquid things in it and I am not sure that, after an hour in the oven, it is absolutely cooked. It has strawberries in it, and strawberry jam, and lemon yoghurt. Yes, I know 
! The bit I stuck the skewer in came out clean, but it has sunk a little bit, and that does not bode well. DH will probably eat it anyway. If anyone can point me in the direction of a reliable conversion chart I would be very grateful. When it is cool I will cut it and let you know what the result is. I know that cake standards in the kitchen are very high, so this may not be of an acceptable standard for you Kitcheners to sample ?!
