Don't write summer off just yet.


Back in Sept 2008 I won a Raffle in The Clock House.


First prize was a rowing boat for 6 - 8 at Richmond.


We went out on the 20th Sept. It was a scorcher in the mid 70's

Sunshine all day.


Stopped off at the White Swan Pub in Twickenham on the way out and the way back

keeping the tide with us.

I am loving this summer. I'd hardly even noticed that it's getting dark early.


Signs it's changing - the leaves falling as I was waiting on LL the other day - took me by surprise - hot water bottle last night, bought chicken soup today and no one wanted salad with their dinner this evening.


It was very hot today (well, my office is very sunny) and then torrential rain. I love it :-)


I don't like autumn when we're not had a nice summer....it feels wrong. Not this year though.

    • Anyone have any amount going over the next 4 weeks? thank tou
    • Please understand that I am not doubting the word of anyone who has posted here with problems with bought-in prepared meat, but (I am old) uncooked meat (perfectly 'good' meat) does smell often, we are too used to shrink wrapped and chilled supermarket meat which can be almost scent free - so we are surprised when 'butcher's' meat does smell (and often, if it is uncooked, quite strongly). Indeed game which is high can smell quite strongly, and not in a good way to our 21st C sensibilities, without being off - as in food poisoning off. Certainly prepared meat, when cooked, should smell enticing, and not at all bad - so the experiences quoted above are certainly very worrying - but younger people reading this should not be concerned, particularly, if fresh (raw) meat they have bought from e.g. a proper butchers has a smell to it. Which is not to say that something which smells rank shouldn't be a point of complaint. Even the smell of high-ish game, if left unwrapped, should dissipate once unwrapped. If it increases however it may be  cause for concern. But raw beef or lamb in the joint can often smell of something which isn't necessarily particularly nice, without it being worrying. It will tend to cook with more flavour.
    • Thanks tedfudge, great news, well done!!! 🦆😊
    • Just an update  The ducklings were picked up by a lady from an animal sanctuary Sussex,  hopefully they have a good life ahead of them
