That is what I hate. Your fire is very attractive Josy; we used to rather despise imitation fires but they are now so realistic that it seems sensible to have them, especially if you can no longer manage a real one. My 'stove' actually gives out a lot of heat, which some of the more decorative ones do not. It is the sickly smell of garden peas that puts me off them. I do eat whole marrofat peas so a little mushy peas I might eat but I always ask for No peas and ask for baked beans instead if they can.

purplesea Posted 5 hours ago #62329 Share Posted 5 hours ago Morning all, I think I'm going to be in for a shock temp wise when we return home as it's 25c here. It's my youngest son's 30th birthday today and my granddaughter's 25th. Also my eldest son, youngest daughter and her partner are flying out to join us. This evening we are being picked up by family and going into Palermo and then on to stay with other family members and all going out for a meal tomorrow, so a busy weekend. Hope everyone has a good weekend. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are off to Italy soon and we always leave heavy jackets in the car at the airport. It can be a shock to the system moving from the lovely heat of the high 20s to minus something. Enjoy the fine weather you have for now and get ready to embrace the great British weather. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplesea Posted 4 hours ago #62332 Share Posted 4 hours ago We travelled up.overnight so have got jackets, etc. and will have a car coming to pick us up. I must have looked stupid when we arrived as I was wearing my jacket as I didn't have a free hand to carry it! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never liked peas (altho can cope if just a few on the plate) and dislike all pulses (eg kidney beans, chickpeas, lentils etc etc). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janny444 Posted 4 hours ago #62334 Share Posted 4 hours ago Having a day of " recovery" and acceptance after the " shock " & naivety yesterday. At the hospital yesterday was told due to my rapidly failing eyesight that I need to surrender my driving licence...that was not a shock and I haven't driven for quite some time...no probs... but I am named driver on my husband's car insurance. Phoned the insurance company to let them know and was told I would have to pay £260 extra...that was the shock!! WHAT....I was expecting a refund.! The insurance has 5 months to run. They quoted a new policy price but that was eye watering. Didn't realise that once you are over 80 car insurance...like travel insurance...goes through the roof...and we don't do big mileage less than 3000 a year. Ah well it is as it is...hence my day of acceptance 😌 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to read your bad news but hopefully you will still get around if Hubby drives . This reminds me of years back I had a mate who had his Mrs down as a named driver, even though she could not drive and never held a licence. I thought this was crazy until one day I was told by my broker to put my Mrs down even though she was a non driver back then . From what I could gather It was not illegal to insure someone and it brought my price down. Things may have changed now,anyway you take care . 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too Snow Hill. and lightly boiled so they are still firm. We love sugar snaps and mange tout as well. When we used to grow them I would pick some of the tiny pods to use raw in a salad.

The closest we've got is ye olde Cockney pie and mash.Don't tell anyone but I think the pies are a bit bland that's why I use loads of chillie vinegar.The Mrs loves them though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avril Hi sis,in Italy when broadbeans (fave) are in season the locals stand at the bar popping the beans and eating them.Not a great lover of mushy peas but they stay hot longer than garden on the plate,lol.Bro.
