It seems I have become a responsible adult over the weekend. I AM the keeper of the norty step...

Well we had our pre-banter warm up last night! I'll leave it up to someone else to report back... Kissipoos Sarah x

Yay finally I get to meet you! I'm sure I'll be able to shout you a beer so it can be beer, beer bye?

beer, beer, beer, beer and beer

I can't have a late one either as I've promised I'll do family visits while I'm south. I wonder if I can re-organise without being in any more trouble than I already am???

I'm up for beers on Friday night? Maybe a warm up session for the rest of you?? Marc - don't tell me. You're either not coming up or you'll be here Saturday??

I've objected too.

They are gorgeous! Hm wonder when I can get my front doors done....

I make my bread and the last recipe I tried was with "smashed" walnuts, fennel seeds and mixed fruit. Delicious but it didn't last long Guess who's going to be baking tomorrow!

I've posted a link to this thread on the Facebook "Living on a Narrowboat" group. It has over 400 members so maybe it'll spread the word a bit more and get a few more people keeping an eye out for you. Good luck. Sarah

I managed to grow peppers and chillis last year and will be giving them another go this year. Chives and rosemary survive most things but it is a case of trying to remember to give them all a quick water either first or last thing. Good luck! Sarah

Soon I hope!

Seeing as it's unlikely I'll be online at all between now and the beers (and I'm chatless) make sure you all have a fantastic time, be outrageously drunk, ensure there is copious amounts of chocolate (and kittens?) and have a drink (ok two or three) for me. Can you arrange the next one for soon please even if it's a mini one?? Alex n Cap't - make yourselves at home and I hope you find it without trying out a few of the neighbours boat's first! I'll leave the life belt on the front to try and make it easier to spot... Bon/Ally - we should sort out a "girls" night soon? Morph - that includes you if you wear the skirt and heels you promised <wanders off sulking that she is missing out on all the fun> Sarah x

Not always Tom. If the M25 or the bottom end of the M1 is being hideous then it works out quicker from London to do M11, A14. All depends on the roads tho! Oh and I get bored staying on the same road for too long <goes back to tidying!>

What time are you heading to the Albion on Fri?? I'm not going south til mid/late afternoon so could potentially pop in to show my face even if I can't have a beer... Sx

Typical! I buy fire extinguishers and then Lidl go and stock them Anyone else need to buy anything cheaply? I'll buy it full price and then Lidl will have them in by the end of March...
