BOILING CHICKEN

 

We bought 4 chickens last month, but sadly 3 are only laying.

How nice it is to have 3 fresh eggs a day (Not been to the loo for a fortnight mind you!)

 

Sadly, one chicken was not pulling her weight, so the only option was a large pot and a "Bouquet Garni"

 

Chicken and leek pie is coming!

 

Oh..Come on..As if we would!!!!!!

 



HORROR DOG !

 

Does anyone remember the 80's movie "Hellraiser"

Well, here is Shep with his tribute to the lead character "Pinhead"

 

This was after chasing a hare through an overgrown grass field.

Prune Flavour 67% proof

Double Fermented Prune 72.5% proof

 

Here's to many a happy day of memory loss and disorientation!

 

ROUGH CIDER

 

 

The first batch of "Rough Still Cider" is underway

Using the natural yeast in the apples, the first gallon was prepared this morning.

Hoping for a decent brew of between 6.8 - 8.1%.

Ready in 2 weeks or so.

First come, first served!

ANOTHER RNA LUNCH

 

 

W attended September's RNA function which was held at the Hotel de Bretagne

in Dol de Bretagne.



 

A decent turnout of 30 enjoyed 4 courses with wine in nice surroundings.



ON TO BOURNEMOUTH

A few days with my Mum and Bob.

Nice meal out on Friday night, followed by the Bournemouth V Blackpool game.

A return for me after 3 years .

I was never going to go to a home game whilst Mitchell was running the club, and now my dreams have come true and he has gone.

Still, we lost 2-1 but that only put a mild dampener on events.

 

Then on Sunday lunchtime, had a bit of a family reunion at the Cumberland Hotel.

Thanks to Cousins Bev, Tracy, & Debbie, along with Ron, Andy, & John for a most enjoyable couple of hours of food, wine, and catch up!
