wowzz Posted September 18, 2020 #5376 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Yes, sorry, my initial reply was curt and came over as rude. I was under a bit of time pressure, but that is no excuse. My intention was to direct readers to the thread that was already full of posts discussing the new cancellations, and had been very busy for the previous 3 hours or so. So once again my apologies, and I consider myself truly on the naughty step. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wowzz Posted September 18, 2020 #5385 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Autumn must be on the way. Just bulk cooked and mashed an enormous quantity of carrot & swede, ready for the freezer. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had a glut of tomatoes this year, so I've made up 14 batches of pasta sauce for the freezer too. A busy time for us gardeners now.

When I top a cottage pie I always mash together potato, sweet potato, parsnip and swede or turnip. Much tastier and healthier. Avril 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't get much further away, I have heard it said that Chesterfield is in the geographical center of England.

Now there’s the basis for another discussion. Leaving Scotland aside, as obviously north, where’s the line drawn delineating north and south?
