CATCH UP

Thought it was about time that I did an update as its been over a month since I last posted,and what better way to start than putting on some pictures of the flowers Lyn got from Jonny and Matt for her birthday a couple of weeks ago.As you can see they were (and still are) gorgeous,and the smell each mornong when you come into the lounge is sensational.
So whats been happening,well we still continue to ring the bells and are now regular Sunday ringers and both feel pretty confident about ringing in general,although I did make a mistake this morning on a card that involved over 70 changes and that was with Lyn calling the changes over my shoulder.
The allotment is taking up less of our time now (thank God),as its the time of the year when not much is happening.We are clearing our plot and putting the rubbish on a big pile ready for a bonfire on the 5th.By the look of things there will be quite a few fires.John our next door allotmenteer will be supplying the chairs and booze whilst we will bring along the food.
Quiz nights are still good fun.John and I ran the quiz the other night which was good fun and noisy as there were 10teams,About 10 of us meet down the pub for dinner prior to the quiz,before splitting into teams ,me with THE DREAM BOYS and Lyn with 4 or 5 PORTIONS OF TART.
We rarely win but always try and cheat our way in front of the girls.
Golf is great and is the beast thing I have done since moving up here,not onl;y do I get some good excercise I have also met a great many new friends,plus my game is coming along nicely.
We always seem to be doing something,whether its to do with the house or out and about with friends etc.We really dont know how we had the time to work.
Well I'm not going to do anything else today as its raining quite hard and pretty dull,so will settle down in front of the TV, read the paper and probably have a snooze.
Oh whilst I'm doing this Lyn is making a treacle tart.My mother made the best treacle tart in the world,that is until now of course.As long as there is plenty of lemon in it it will stand a chance.Will report the outcome at some later date
