O, newly retired lady:)

Do you find you have even less time than you did before retirement? *I
certainly do, how I found the time to work I shall never know!!

Some of us did wonder at the time :o)

How I managed to work the hours I did, see our girls in London, have a
life outside work, I just don't know. I think I had much more energy,
I could work a 14 hour day and still wake up ready to start in the
garden for a while even before work!!!!! We would arrive home after
being away for a few weeks and within hours I had unpacked, washing
machine on and I would be out in the garden doing something.

To keep on topic I bought some plants today, a white Clematis, some
Tarragon; and 2 Rosemary plants, now I have to get them in, so popping
orf as they say in France :-)

Me-me-me-me-me miss! I remember it too - but since we'd had an
Italian au pair I knew about pasta, olive oil, extra v of that ilk,
and other things besides, and we had a giggle, and didn't expect
anyone would be fooled.

In that, we were fooled...

Yep some were of course !

I still molish a mean risotto more-or-less to her recipe.

Mmmmmmm :)

I think we have to test that one. What say you, Val?

I say YES! ;) recipe please Rusty g

Well yes, a recipe would be grand, but shirley we must test it from the
hands of the master chef?

How's your broadband?

But the work is interesting!! Anyway, I can't garden as there's still about
2 feet of the white stuff covering the back garden and the better part of a
foot on the north facing roof of the house.
On the radio yesterday, a garden centre owner complained that he couldn't
unload the stock into the centre because of the snow coverage - so he was
off to the ski slopes.
