Are you sure it is Graham & Sheila and not Graham & Sandra. I did manage to get a news letter out and sent it to over 70 people, so I have tried.

sorry yes Graham and Sandra !!!

Im just typing out the list of people who has paid a deposit etc etc so its ready to take on Sat and i have just noticed that in my original the Adult price says £19.50 but it should have said £19.95 sorry about that !!! i cant think how that happened ill blame my keyboard and also the Cedars say that the Menu items stated for starters and Pudding my not be exactly the same either   but thats good as it will then be more of a surprise!!!!

      Chris??Napoleon whilst looking back over the posts i seemed to have overlooked Chris sorry about that

I realise that the list above for our Non North Devon Nut cases may be weather dependent  


Haave i missed anyine off the list and have we any Veggie persons i know that Rosi posie is is there anyone else please PM me if you are

After much deliberation Michelle and I have decided against travelling to Devon this weekend   It's such a long journey and to be honest even if it does thaw a bit more we think it's a bit risky to come.  We are really disappointed but under the circumstances we think it's the best decision.  Hopefully we can come for a weekend once the weather improves and meet up with you all then      

If the Xmas dinner could be moved to around the Easter weekend, I'd be able to pop along too 8-)

I think we all have too much to eat over December and January heralds diet plans. I don't think as a nation we celebrate Easter enough but it does make a nice weekend break. Maybe we could trial an Easter dinner one year.

A picnic at Hartland on Easter sunday one year would be great! (Weather can be moody)

Now this is complicated so please try and Focus when Claire at the Cedars rang me on the 11th to say that the Starter and pudding may vary slightly from the original posting and which i duly passed onto you lot   well what she failed to ask me was to do was collect a new menu and ask for me to ask you to have a look and pick the starters main and pudding !!!! she really didnt as you know i take food very seriously
She left me this message on our answerphone which i picked up at 10.00 last night

I have spoken to her today to say that i would do my best so will post it but that i doubted whether i could reach all of you but that i would try as you know im very trying

here it is

Chicken liver parfait with mulled plum chutney, organic baguette and butter.
Fig and goats cheese flio parcels with balsamic onion confit  & salad garnish.
King  Prawn cocktail with mutigrain bread & somerset butter.
Seasonal soup of the day with croutons, chunky bread & butter.


Main course.

Hand carved free range norfolk turkey breast with all the trimmings.
Wild alaskan salmon fillet with a provencale sauce.
Pan seared barbary duck breast with a sage and honey jus.
British beef & ruddles ale pie served with chips or mashed potatoes, seasonal vegetables and gravy.
Peppered  mushroom suet pudding served with mashed potatoes, british seasonal vegetables and a portobello  mushroom and colmans Diane sauce.

Desserts.

Cream profiteroles served with chocolate sauce.
Belgian chocolate cheesecake.
Winterberry brioche pudding served with double cream.
Christmas pudding and brandy sauce.


Coffee to finish.
if you could all have a look and pm me back

Merry Xmas to all at the diner tomorrow, hope you have a great time, see you later in the year.

(p4_xmas)(p4_newyear)

DON'T FORGET TO PARTY

(p4_

And no throwing of food around.

Hope you all have a great time  

Hmph I say - we're just really gutted we're not there

Hope you're enjoying yorselves tonight. It's quiet on here without you - there's only the Kent, Surrey and Hampshire members logged-in.


R.

Yes and this Kent member is really p*****d off I can tell you.  Playing Mario carts on the Wii with Luke doesn't quite compare

I'm sure Carol - but given the amount of white stuff we've had in the south east, you made the right decision. It's nearly all gone here now, but side roads were stil treacherous until yesterday afternoon. How about in Planet Thanet?


R.

We've had quite a lot of rain and it's all been washed away, apart from odd little patches still lurking in odd corners   But I keep remembering last year when the whole country - including Devon was in the grip of the white stuff - all apart from Planet Thanet that is  

True, very true.

Have a stiff drink instead - I am!

R.

I wonder if they had a good time and that the meal was good. No news is normally good news.

Unless ofcourse they're doing the Bombay 2 step

I've just got home from this, it was lovely to finally put names to faces!

I made a bit of an entrance - unintentional I'll have you know - which resulted in me filling in the accident book  

If we had decided to have a food fight with the roast potatoes we'd of seriously damaged each other, they we're like pebbles!

Never the less it was a lovely evening, and Barry won me a raffle prize!

I best start heading upstairs soon, it will take me a few hours to get up there!

x

Sounds interesting - you'll have to tell us more - or someone will

Did not see your names on the list but good you and Barry could make it. What happened to you?

Quoted from O-B

Sounds interesting - you'll have to tell us more - or someone will  

lets just say, someone didn't see the step  

it was a great evening and a good laugh as normal  

Oops oo-er not a good thing - just really gutted that we weren't there  

Quoted from Chief Engineer

lets just say, someone didn't see the step  

it was a great evening and a good laugh as normal  

Thank You Kev! Your lucky I didn't end up on your lap or you may have ended up wearing my drink - I still don't know how I managed not to spill it!

Thank god Lotty and Kate's place has a lift or I would of ended up sleeping on the sofa, Poor Barry propped me up most of the way, cutting off the blood to my arm in the process! Depending on how things are in the morning, I may end up at minor injuries  

x

We need photos!

Kev has some! Thankfully not of me falling down the steps though!

X

i will get them uploaded 2moz evening, haven't had time this evening  

Bet that Barry was plying you with drink before you left home!


R.
ps. Hope you're feeling better this morning.

R.

I could understand it if that was the case but it wasn't! I'd had a glass of wine with Kate before leaving for the meal and had a southern comfort and lemonade in my hand when it happened!

I still can't weight bear on it too well this morning, I had to hop around seeing to the horses this morning which was rather interesting. I really think I might have to get it checked out, I was hoping it would just go away!

x

I think you should get it checked out. My wrist hurt once when Heidi "jerked" the flexi lead and I twisted my wrist to avoid decapitating Andrew. Later X rays revealed it was broken.

I agree with Rita. Soft tissue injury is bad enough, but if it's skeletal, and it's untreated, it could affect the rest of your life. Off for an X-ray, young lady!

R.

Just back from the local minor injuries, no x-ray given, they reckon it's just bruised, but why does it hurt so much?!?!

x

Often the way that soft tissue injuries are very painful. Good news is that you've had it checked out and nothing's broken - so it's just a matter of time.

Put your feet up - higher than your bum, to keep the swelling down - and make demands for loads of cups of tea on the basis "I'd do it myself, but I've been told to rest, with my foot up" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


R.

Bad sprains can hurt but if it persists I would do A&E where they would hopefully X-ray. Best bet I always think is the vet!

Is that to put me out of my misery!

Richard - I don't get any sympathy here from parents and Barry's not here so looks like I'm making my own Tea!

I'll remind you of that next time you need your temperature taken  

Ha Ha. I'm also grateful we don't have anal glands.
