Soop's welcoming kitchen for kindly caring folk...

In the true spirit of the Gransnet we have always believed we knew, is it OK for me to ask if Izabella has been in touch recently or if anyone has heard from her? If she's reading this, she knows how much we love her posts. ❤️

Sorry to see all the deleted posts and the turmoil in soops lovely kitchen ☹️
Friendly supportive threads are needed now more than ever and I feel that we should be able to ask after others if a regular daily poster suddenly goes missing. Ok maybe not to speculate why someone isn’t posting but surely there’s no harm in asking after someone or if anyone has heard from them etc ...

I bring honey baklava and Metaxa a cure for all ills.
First walk today for nearly a week mild but very muddy along the river.So many people seem to have dogs now is it lockdown puppies!!

Have a pleasant evening everyone and stay safe.

Callistemon I bought sets, they went in just before Christmas, it was wet! Have onions to do now and awaiting delivery of potatoes to chit.

I'm just wondering about the pigeons and squirrels, they had a field day with my sprouting broccoli.
The squirrel ate my tulip shoots last year so this year I put upturned hanging baskets over the pots.

I thought the House of Bruar sold woollies?

I planted mine before Christmas, Callistemon and the pesky squirrels dug them up, along with my tulips from The House of Bruar, no less! ?

Thanks Nannytopsy
I will try that. It looks like another year of staying at home and veg growing.

I echo kitty's post.

We in the kitchen care about each other. It's what we've done from day one. Long may it continue. There is little to celebrate in the present climate. Visiting the kitchen, asking after each other's welfare is surely what the world need now.

Still no word from the engineer. Remain still my patient heart. We've come this far. We continue to hope.

Tomorrow is a brand new day. I shall return to spend time with my pals and in the meantime wish you all a pleasant evening.

I don't post in soop's kitchen but I cheered when I read kitty's post.

HQ, a lot of us are old timers now and there may be new kids on the block but please don't treat us in such a heavy handed manner.

Backing off now!

Callistemon I buy sets. The shop ones are not all hardy enough for the UK. I should have put them in the ground just before Christmas but I have given up waiting for dry weather . ?

'orf with his head I say :-)

Don't tempt me, N&G!

Is that knitting like at the foot of the guillotine Callistemon??

If you don't think that speculation about someone's whereabouts is in the spirit of the site - then I suspect you weren't here at the time of Greatnan's disappearance

Well said Kitty I was thinking just the same.

I think GNHQ have totally missed the point of *soops kitchen*

Actually, it would be interesting to know how old some moderators are.

Back to my knitting ?

I'm at the back causing trouble, N&G

Nannytopsy do you buy garlic sets or just use the ones you buy in the supermarket? I'm thinking of growing some this year but when I tried before it wasn't very successful.

Why do I get the urge to do a role call???

Soop ?
Callistemon

I'm just in one of those moods today :-)

Stella, you really should read that post and see if that is really what you mean.

Well Soop, the engineer has had a while to do his magic. Has anything happened yet? Fingers crossed!
I have cleared the final raised veg bed today ( smug! ?) apart from the purple sprouting broccoli, which is mostly consumed by the pigeons ?. I have also started the garlic in the greenhouse as the soil is a bit wet just now.
It is so good to be out in the fresh air - spring is coming and this will all be a memory eventually. Chins up kitcheners.

I think your stance is wrong, too, Stella and GNHQ.

How do we know in these uncertain times - or at any time in fact - what happens to regular posters who just disappear?
Other issues about the moderation are worrying too at the moment but that is not for this thread.

I wont comment here at length but I think your stance is wrong GNHQ.

I’m not sure GNHQ are working in ‘the spirit of the site’ but if they are it’s certainly not the site I joined years ago.
I am withdrawing too.
