I keep the growing plants in summer but they never seem to survive at this time of the year. In winter I use fennel seeds instead of basil to pep up omelettes but Italian dishes really need the fresh basil. Fennel fronds grow wild in Calabria.They use them mainly in pasta.Don't know how easy they are to grow here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to look at it to be nosy and no intention of booking at all. Then Allan saw the deal which includes drinks, tips and wifi (strange how he tends to get swayed by drinks packages) and decided he wanted to book it, so there goes. Have already posted on the roll call. Barbara Great 🙂 The more the merrier ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grapau27 Posted January 21, 2021 #13930 Share Posted January 21, 2021 3°C and sunny this morning. Last night's snow is melting but rain/ snow is forecast soon for a few hours. The ground looks icy so we will just stop in the house. Take care and stay safe friends. Graham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully you are as embarrassed as I am to have known the answer! Does my street credibility no good at all! It was a simple old fashioned Tin Pan Alley style pop record, Tony Burrows was the lead singer who was also responsible for the Pipkins "GimmeDat Ding", and White Plains, "My Baby Loves Lovin", all categorized as Bubble Gum rock, easy listening with a catchy tune; and I am far too old to worry about street cred anymore.

Aulanis Posted January 21, 2021 #13946 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Well its Rain rain rain over here - not really a problem for us apart from the fact I need to get on the leaky shed roof to replace a tarp I put on last week and has turned out to be not as waterproof as it used to be. 😞 We, well I have been looking at the P Med Cruise and it is a possible maybe for us. Currently booked for an August cruise which I have thought for some time might not happen. It is all paid for using FCCs and has been rather messy as it also involved FCDs and the "system" took the £150 for the FCDs but only after it took the full price of the cruise in FCCs. This was last September, when I suggested they simply transfer 150FCC back into our captains circle account where we still have a few FCCs left. After 2 months they decided they couldnt (wouldnt?) do that and said they would refund £150 in Cash !! - still waiting -at last enquiry ,end Feb has been suggested. So as I say whilst it is a maybe. I am going to wait and see as we dont want to accumulate even more FCCs. Anyway for those doing that cruise I am working on a spreadsheet ( converted from my emerald 2019 one - 159 on that sheet! ) should have a work in progress version later today, unless by some miracle there is an actual gap in the rain instead of light rain with heavier showers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will not tell you why we were not happy in case it spoils it for you if you do another. We have also done a couple of "escape room" ones and got locked in as did most others we talked to.
