::): Well good you can see the funny side with that pesky Beaky.

Yes we spent a holiday in Cornwall many years ago when we were over to see relatives.
We stayed at a caravan site in Perranporth and went to a few different towns while we were there including St. Ives and Newquay.
Well remember those seagulls swooping down near people who were eating ice creams and fish and chips.
We ate our food rather quickly.

banjo,

I think people put things in safe place sometimes so fingers crossed those items will turn up.

I get regular memories on FB about interactions with Ross (Doorstop)

For some reason todays' about some chilli jam I sent him, really got to me for some reason. :?

Boxer6,

I am sure you were a good friend to DS and sadly sometimes the best people are just taken too soon.
I expect like me there will be others who never got to meet him but still enjoyed his helpful and witty posts along with his photos.

My sister died 20 years ago in October.
It would have been her birthday on 8th September so I will have a glass or two of wine on Thursday and think of her and those on HG who are no longer with us.

Your chilli jam sounds wonderful.

even Fred West for a bit
Manuel

or has this been mulled over in another thread?


I see from the news that Peter Tobin has died and expect he will be like Brady and have taken secrets to the grave.

I was reading about the search for Keith Bennett which sadly seems to have come to nothing.
His poor Mother never gave up hoping that he would be found.
It is so sad for relatives of these men who cling on to information which could bring some level of comfort to the bereaved.

I don't know what it's like in Glasgow but I do find it a challenge to get good dates when I am doing my food shop and also some items are getting harder and harder to find.

I see a lot of supermarkets now have no dates on fruit and vegetables which I believe was to cut down on waste.
Mind you as a child fruit and vegetables would have been put into paper bags and there was no packaging or dates.

I bought some wall lights online for the house but had looked at a few websites just to compare prices first.
Glad I did as one company was charging almost £36.00 more than the other.
