Bolthole, anyone?

Take the bottle butty. I'm enjoying your onion soup

This gets better and betterer...

I am just going to make some tomato and basil soup. Ready in about half an hour if you can wait that long.

When - Mr. B is smiling his thanks - and here's the bottle - plenty left for all!
When I was growing up, I'd have killed for a bolthole such as this - so thank you all for the food and company. Bliss.

Off out now to trudge those lanes again........

Can anyone smell singed dog??? Just slide her away from the fire, will you? She'd stay there forever, if I let her.

Could you manage one of these? ....... salted caramel dipped in Belgian chocolate. Very moreish! Pass 'em round.

Glad you said that When I thought it was the soup. Yes please to a salted caramel, my favourite.

Yep! This certainly is the place to be. when...thanks for the chocolate thingies. Very more-ish. I baked some multi-seed rolls and have brought along a selection of fine cheeses. Care to sample some? Brewing some fresh coffee and there's a box of Scottish shortbread on the table.

Oh, now you've hit my weak spot. Cheeeeese....lovely!

Oh did you say cheese ? May just have room for a little smidgen , and was that shortbread? This is the life. [fat contented emoticon]

Okay! Can I tempt you to...Saint Agur, Roquefort, Dolcelatte, Cambozola or a little Red Leicester?

Yes, a lot of each, please!

Tyke!!!

Cheese - mmmmmmm. If when has left any...

Happy Hour in Lil's Bar, peeps! Pete has just opened up. If you want to come back later, I've got a beef curry with all the accompaniments waiting to be demolished! x

Hmmm Grannyeggs not sure this is me either, la-la-la-la-la

I mean annodomini ! perhaps I will fit in after all !

Ooh yes, please when we can make whisky Macs, and Butty can take one out to Mr B to Keep him warm. (Was going to say "warm him up" but ones words are so quickly misconstrued...)

One's

Welcome Rosannie, I remember you from over a year ago. Help yourself to food and drinks. Looks like Lil's Bar might be inadvertently replenishing our stocks

Hello Rosannie If this lot are going over to Lil's, why don't we sit here and have some of these lovely cheeses and a wee dram or two?

Count me in for the cheeses - maybe a very wee dram as well and good company. What could be better?

Glad you're staying around to keep me company. I don't tend to frequent Lil's Bar as I don't really (ahem....coughs) drink! What???

We would make a good pair annodomini, I hate cheese but love a dram or two!

I have just made a big pot of leek and potato soup if any one has room left. My goodness the crumpets are delicious

Ok have had lunch, mussels WW points 2, so now can fill up with cheese, if when hasn't guzzled it all .....
