I have known that I was quite behind and so have saved your posts for a lazy Sunday afternoon. I've brewed a pot of tea and am settling in for a good read. Don't be alarmed if I'm here for a bit, even though I am a fast reader. <br /><br />Looks as if our corners, yours and mine, are struggling along with the same sort of weather pattern. I note that you are wearing jackets in late April. I also see that you got busy doing something constructive...baking...just as I would do when John gets into something I'm not too keen on. Lord have mercy. I'm so glad that Alan is in one piece. He's amazingly fit and capable, isn't he?!Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3606833213419475387.post-33240923167470929322012-04-28T03:05:29.550+01:002012-04-28T03:05:29.550+01:00Ah.
