Here we are again
Happy as can be (in the circumstances)
All GOOD friends and jolly GOOD company.

Welcome. The buffet is waiting. Our retreat is warm and cosy. There will always be a comforting virtual arm around the shoulder for those who need one. flowers

Congratulations Hellogirl. What a beautiful name the baby has.
A quiet day. Admin and chucking clothes in a bag to take to clothes bank. Walked my wonderful Ddog by myself for ten minutes.
Take care everyone.

Just popping into the kitchen for a rest we’re just back from a long and muddy walk near the river in Granchester, the weather is so mild I carried my coat most of the way! We bought take away coffees to go with our home made mince pies and sat on a bench overlooking the river
DD and Sil are going out to friends tonight so we’re looking after the gorgeous DGSs and then settling down with chocolates and a film
Just wanted to say a very big thank you especially to soop and to everyone else in the kitchen for such an enjoyable and supportive year. Looking forward to sharing 2022 with you all ??

So, lovely kitcheners, another year comes to a close.
We have much to be grateful for, yet we dare to hope we will have more to celebrate at the end of 2022.
2021 has certainly brought it’s challenges but what has never wavered has been the friendship in soop* ‘s kitchen.
Thank you all for being You. ?

I've been absent for a couple of days but just wanted to pop in as 2021 comes to a close and wish all you lovely kitcheners a happy, healthy and peaceful new year. May some sort of "normality" return in 2022.

MayBeMaw Fri 31-Dec-21 17:12:14

I don’t want to tempt fate by saying it couldn’t be much worse, but other than a delicious new baby grandson, it’s not been vintage!
However, a guid New Year tae yin and a’, and mony may ye see!

BladeAnnie Fri 31-Dec-21 17:13:04

And a very happy new year from Duncan too ???

SueDonim Fri 31-Dec-21 17:17:03

Got to dash as we’ve unexpectedly got the decorator coming in on Monday and I need to clear rooms! TOYA. X

Gagagran Fri 31-Dec-21 17:17:12

I join with all the good wishes for a peaceful, happy and healthy 2022. It has to be better than the last two years, surely?

Especially sending kindest regards and hopes for a swift resolution in 2022 to our dear Soop 's excruciating health condition. So brave, so kind and always welcoming to her kitchen, she deserves respite from it. flowerssunshine

I shall be starting my new journal tomorrow and it will be for the 64th time! The story of my life is in A5 page-a-day diaries. I think you should keep going with yours Urms - you will regret it if you stop now.

muse Fri 31-Dec-21 17:20:12

Oh! Forgot to add: “Thank you for the cake yesterday, Urms” ??

Wishing everyone a very happy and much better new year.
My DH and dd were tested positive on Boxing Day. Dh still unwell and I am terrified that if I catch it my long long awaited nhs appointment in just over s week will be cancelled and I can’t afford got that to happen as am in a lot of pain.
Privately is £15,000 so need to stay well and keep out of dh way; trouble is he wanders round the house and I sometimes forget to dodge him.
Sorry for the moan, am feeling a tad down today.
Here’s to a better new year, 2022! Cheers everyone, be happy ? be safe x

Jaxjacky Fri 31-Dec-21 19:28:23

I echo others words, thank you all, especially soop for this wonderful kitchen.
I wish you all the best 2022 and raise a glass to your health and happiness ?❤️

Doodle Fri 31-Dec-21 19:31:04

Crumbs you’ve all been busy. I have some catching up to do.
Grandmabatty hope to see you in your best fancy dress in the Argy later. George is looking for you ?
Hellogirl how worrying for your family. Glad to hear your great nephew is ok. Hope he fully recovers soon.
Ooh and congratulations on the new arrival. What lovely news.
Glad Sweetie Pie has returned at last soop that will set your mind at rest. We will be thinking of you in the Argy tonight. Take care.

annodomini Fri 31-Dec-21 19:33:26

The year is almost over and I don't think many of us will regret its passing! Here's hoping that the trials and tribulations of 2021 will soon be forgotten and that the wonderful scientists who have given us cause for gratitude and optimism will come up with more and better solutions for fighting Covid. Good wishes to all gransnetters, near and far. Happy New Year in 2022.

Doodle Fri 31-Dec-21 19:36:32

Hope you all have a good time tonight whether out partying or like us at home.
Cheers to all the Kitcheners and thank you for your company this last year.
Everyone is welcome in the Argy tonight to raise a glass to dear soop and hope for a good outcome of that operations soon.
Take care all ????????

Grannmarie Fri 31-Dec-21 19:50:29

Hello, lovely Kitchen people, wishing you all the very best for 2022, hoping and praying for a happy, healthy and safe New Year for us all.
We're going to my sister's for the Bells, dear nephew1's lovely fiancee will there for her first Scottish Hogmanay, but we are still 3 households in line with current advice.
I'm going to wear my sparkly top and wobbly heels just in case I manage to pop into the Argy?
The joy that Willow brings shines out of that photo, Soop.
Sorry to hear that your DH has Covid, Silverlining, do your best to avoid him for the most valid reasons!
A guid New Year tae yin an' a', NNGB

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE
HERE'S WISHING YOU ALL PEACE, HAPPINESS AND GOOD HEALTH FOR 2022.

Apologies for the capitals, didn't mean to shout!!

Thanks to soop and all for your company during 2021 and for sharing the ups and downs of the year. 2022 has got to be a better year - Capt. Tom would say, it will be a good year. flowers
