Aaahh, what a sweetie! A pity I would be allergic to him/her!

 

[bigyetiman]

He/she is lovely.
Always liked guinea pigs.
can't see our neighbour spending that on a ram. She is picking two up from Norfolk this week, not sure of the breed.

One of my FB friends breeds Bleu du Maine in Northern Ireland, Hen Gen. She posts pics quite regularly. They are beautiful looking animals!

And ‘from the papers’ today;

“ And the Sun offers a luxury gift idea that's not to be sniffed at: a "huge designer candle that smells of the River Thames near Dagenham". The item - with its additional notes of "red bricks and nettles" - is on sale at the department store Selfridges for £450.”

Have they delayed 1st April by five months because of coronavirus????????

Now what you really want is one from the Thames by Rainham Marsh, comes with the tang of the landfill and cooking rice from the Tilda factory. What price should we put on that

‘London scented candle’

https://www.selfridges.com/GB/en/cat/tom-dixon-london-scented-candle-3-3kg_401-3002088-LONDONMEGACANDLE33KG/

Or you could have La Grande Bougie, also £450;

“Cire Trudon's La Grande Bougie in Ernesto candle is the ultimate way to fragrance your home. Inspired by the Cuban revolution, the scent has fierce overtones of leather and tobacco meddled with wood, and framed by the smoke of cigars and the barrels of guns. This rich and luxurious candle has top notes of rum, grapefruit, and bergamot with middle notes of clove, oak wood, patchouli, labdanum and a tobacco harmony, moss, leather and amber base.”

‘Meddled with wood” - what on earth does that mean?

Gosh, though, you really do have to admire the brass neck of the makers, don't you?! And of course, if they weren't selling them, shops wouldn't stock them. So, there are obviously those who's desperation to be seen as "chic" cancels out their common sense!

I used to have to write descriptions like that for the toothpaste flavours that I created...

"The cool freshness of untouched mountain snow, sparkling in the sunlight, with hints of Edelweiss and Sicilian lemon"...

Tonight’s supper!
Top notes of garlic, tomato and oregano with undercurrents of beef, onion and carrot complemented by the buttery savouriness of balancing carbohydrate.
Or, to you and me, Spaghetti Bolognese.

I wonder what Poppy would write about the tantalising smell of the rats under our garden shed?
She spends a lot of time inhaling, but can’t get at them.

Not just a big hairy bus driver. Just finished cross stitching this for my granddaughter

 

[Marigold]

Well done! Would have loved a pic of you sitting stitching it, BYM.

 

[Margaid]

Me too - a picture of you stitching it I mean... Well done anyway.
