Hello again

Hi soop .
Your sense of humour is still wicked and intact 😁 It’s beetroot with me IYKWIM.
How lovely that the sea and sky are giving you such a hypnotic show from your window. Nature at its most flamboyant.
Stay inside with your dear man, keep snug and enjoy all visits.
What kindness from your family?
‘Bye for now 👋 🌊 ☀️

Hi soop, I needed a bit of cheering up today and you've certainly achieved that.

So glad you are back with us!

Fenugreek in curries is another culprit! Of course you must come back to your kitchen soop!. That’s where you belong, comfortably settled by the Aga.
We don’t have your seascapes but cold, clear and sunny days over Suffolk countryside. Between here and the supermarket I saw 2 kestrels, a buzzard and 3 red kites. It all makes the move worth it!

Hello dear kittylester, I shall private message you.

Oh dear! So sorry, kitty, it has been such a long time since I last pm'd. I have forgotten how to do so. Please pm me if you wish to share your problem.

Nannytopsy, how lovely for you to see such handsome feathered friends. We often see a woodpecker, a tree creeper and every tit under the sun in our back garden. Also green finch, chaffinch and dozens of cheeky sparrows visiting the feeders,

TillyTrotter The asparagus scented piddle urine has deserted me.

My son and his wonderful partner have arrived at Scotch Corner which is approximately half way home. they have left the snowy roads behind them, thank goodness. The islands remain snow-capped, all very picturesque, but driving on icy roads is a different matter.

Yesterday we were able to video call our son's partner's parents. Her father is Swedish and her mother is Indian. They are delightful. Son and partner spent Christmas in Sweden with them before visiting us. Her parents are now en route to their second home in India.

kittylester, I have sent a private message. Away now to read my book but will return a little later to read your response.

I have given my tablet to Mr Soop I have no need for anything that unduly tests my grey matter. I understand that many of my Gransnet friends find using the tablet a blessing. For me, it is the opposite and returning to the computer is the best way forward.

I am reading a Richard Osman book. It is fun and light- hearted.

I shall return later this afternoon.

Hello Soop it’s lovely to have you back with us. Your son and his partner sound so kind and caring, I hope they get home without any delays. We’ve lots of snow here in Inverness, the side roads are slippery but the main roads ok
I hope you’re doing ok kitty, take care

Having just this moment discovered that the original Soop's Kitchen still exists, I wonder whether I should close this thread and return to the original. It seems to make sense. What say you?

As a non-posting, but long-time Kitchener, I’d say yes, please, soop, go back to your lovely Kitchen and everyone will be waiting to give you a warm welcome x

Bellanonna, Will do. Many thanks to each and every one of you dear Kitcheners.

I am locking the door. I will see you ALL in Soop's Kitchen. Bless your hearts for being such super special peoples (as my grandson, when young) was known to say.
