Winslow is a small town about a 15 minute drive from me.

Near enough not to let the pink get warm! 

We have a window lintel in now!!  How exciting! 

I think This Town was their closing number and went down a storm. 

Have a lovely, lazy day in the sunshine, Pen.

Christine, are you considering the new retirement flats going up near the station?  Maybe a mews flat in the town centre? 

Hi Pen and Christine

Your house sounds lovely, Christine.  I love quirky.  Our house has two flights of stairs but one leads up to son's former bedroom so I don't have to go up those too often now!  I have often wondered about The Bristly Hog (which seems to be a busy little place) and will give it a go.  As to scrambled eggs, I often make them and often throw them in the bin.  They have got to be perfect for me to enjoy them - not too runny and not too rubbery!  It's an art! 

Son and girlfriend went to a wedding in Winslow I believe, Pen.  Stayed overnight and on down to London to see Sparks at the Royal Albert Hall.  They like a bit of retro and said they were fantastic. 

Another hot day and work is progressing (too slowly for my liking!!) with the extension.  Hordes of 'visitors' have now descended so I think the police and RSPCA will have their work cut out.  I can't bear to see the horses tethered up in the hot weather without shade and sufficient water.   

Hi Penny

Certainly not leaving Kendal! Yes it is the 3 staircases (plus one outside too!). We fell in love with the house and its quirky layout and most of all the view accross the valley of the castle etc but we were always mindful of having to move eventually to a more practical house. We are both healthy but it is better to sort this now than when one or both of us is not. I will miss my view and the handy location but it is time. The problem is this is not an easy house to sell as most people want what they know ie a square box with rooms where they are used to so we need another set of people like us who see the beauty of this place and forget the "must have list."

We were playing an album in the car by the people who sang your rebus song just the other day.  Great voices and great songs - though not the rebus song so much for me.

Son and girlfriend were at a wedding in Bucks last weekend - should have got them to drop by with a bottle of pink for you from me!  Very hot here today so a glass of something cool and vaguely alcoholic will be absolutely necessary this evening! 

I agree Linda (of course ) - not one of my favourite tracks.  The busker in town was singing it but it was barely recognisable! Took me a minute to work out what it was 

You definitely should have asked your son and girlfriend to stop off with a bottle of pink plonk for me - that would have been brilliant! Where did they go? Can you remember?  Enjoy your chilled beverage in this beautiful sunshine

Try The Bristly Hog next time you are in Kendal. Good food and really good coffee and very friendly staff.  If you like scrambled egg I can guarantee they do the best you will ever have but everything is nice. Look out for a black and white cocker spaniel forcing a couple to enter the cafe!!

If you win the lottery this weekend you can buy our house as we are on the market. We have a lot of stairs but a lottery winner could afford 3 stannah lifts!!  Christine
