Welcome to the *Gransnet Café. This is a non-judgemental space for you to pop in for a cuppa with some virtual friends, seek out advice for a particular problem, or share an update on your life - important or trivial. Feel free to have your say and chat about your day, but please leave any arguments at the door. If you're struggling to find someone to talk to in real life, or are simply looking for a bit of a chat, this is the place for you.
Hello! Popped in to see what this new kitchen looks like.Wow! All white and gleaming with black marble worktops and an island ( with what looks like an old woolly cat asleep on it.)
Any coffee on the go?
Nice & airy this kitchen. I've brought some freshly cut ham sarnies, if anyone would like to partake....
I thought the name Clare Teal rang a bell Nonna, she's coming to a venue near us later in the year.You'd recommend her? I had a quick look on the website & was amused by the statement that the drummer can "sing & play at the same time without dribbling"
or even recommend her Nonna ! 
I think Rory's meditating!
Rory, or Ruaridh in the Gaelic, has barely moved from his chaise. Yes! Our kitchen, as you lot are well aware, has all manner of comfortable chairs on which to loll. It's a kitchen in which we never need clean the cooker or do boring stuff like washing up. There are areas that are spotless (for those who happen to be very house-proud) and there are corners where the rest of us can kick off our shoes and chill. It caters for all tastes. Cake is revered. The occasional glass of 
is quaffed. All pets are welcome. The scruffier, the better.
I feel happy now that I know you lot won't be feeling lost and forlorn. Thank every one of you for making our forum such a happy-making place. When bad things happen, we rally and do what we can to help. When the good stuff happens, we celebrate. 
and an enormous (((group hug))).
Until tomorrow. 
Back from the birthday celebrations - another amazing barbecue of posh sausages and a dazzling array of salads. I intend to hire these caterers for Paw's 70th in September!
Sadly he didn't feel up to the journey and given the temperature in DDs garden (23?24?) would not have been comfortable. (Or good company) However he is on the mend so I was less than chuffed to get a plaintive phone call about 10 past 4 intimating that he was expecting me home 
Said so too when I got in just before 6, it is a 1 1/2 hr journey after all.
Cakes and balloons were well received and (although I say so myself) did look pretty. Having 3 different flavours meant there was something for everybody, grown ups as well as DD and SIL's nieces and nephew(7,5,3)
Mission accomplished, feet up!
I read about all you lovely people in the kitchen at least twice a day and would like to join you if I may.
I don't do much baking these days but I make a mean cup of tea and enjoy the odd tipple.
On my hols in my favourite place so little access to wifi. Just popping in to leave some Bara Brith bought at Dolgellau farmers market this morning for anyone who fancies a slice, sadly it does need plenty of butter too!
We've had a couple of lovely walks today and very quiet considering it's been such a beautiful day.
I've been on a flying visit to DIL's home country for a family celebration. Think I drank enough shots of vodka to last me this year and next DGS had meltdowns at the airport each way poor lamb. He's flown several times before but just couldn't handle it this time. DS has decreed he will be driving across Europe next time they go there
Just in case that trauma wasn't enough, I set off the alarm on the security walk-through thingy. I've been having problems with a bone in my wrist lately and was wearing a thumb/wrist support, which has a metal bar in it, which I forgot to take off ...
Going to try to to adddownsixed to my cruise tomorrow. Wish me luck! It can be tricky.
Had a lot of fun with her last time.
So hope this time is even better!
Things that went wrong on Saturday.
1. The saucepan handle broke dropping the contents of the pan into the sink.
2. The rather old frayed washing line broke as I put a throw on it.
3. The pack of not quite frozen raspberry puree in the freezer, fell out of the freezer, when I opened the door and split open when it hit the floor.
That is my story and I will be making no further comment.
