I hope you have recovered your usual equanimity somewhat although the weather is hardly likely to inspire.<br /><br />My Benno is a great wuss too, I think as he ages, he is becoming afraid of his own shadow. He is a big dog, yet he tries to hide behind me whenever there is a loud noise or another dog wants to say hello.Frikohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04277167831642088694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22769896.post-5136039412706736612012-03-05T14:30:52.242+00:002012-03-05T14:30:52.242+00:00Haha - we were given some Herman mixture recently....Haha - we were given some Herman mixture recently. Himself (unusually!) took charge of it, nurtured it, fed it as required, etc, etc but forgot(?!) to divide it up to pass on before he added all the fruit and cooked it!

Know exactly what you mean about February - it certainly hasn't helped my cause these last weeks. <br />Although I bet that panto will cheer you up!<br /><br /><br />I have young Bruno now (one of SBS pups) so there's a continual trail of muddy paw prints on the slate floors.<br /><br />Hope to see you very soon. Give Bodran and SBS a nudge about meeting J in Ludlow, will you? We need cake and catch up :)<br /><br />xxBluestocking Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01502764742097142372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22769896.post-29414123473939341822012-02-22T20:52:23.786+00:002012-02-22T20:52:23.786+00:00It is getting lighter and tomorrow (Thursday) it i...It is getting lighter and tomorrow (Thursday) it is meant to be warmer....spring is just peeping round the corner!!!Tattieweaslehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10723634612274763884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22769896.post-3091279481832111822012-02-22T16:45:48.211+00:002012-02-22T16:45:48.211+00:00Yes - stand out for your custard. Birds custard ke...Yes - stand out for your custard. Birds custard kept us going in 1940 - or so I am led to believe. Without Custard there wouldn't be C in Great Britain - well I know there isn't but - hell it's been a long day and it isn't yet five o'clock. So stick out for custard and put up with the mud. Learn to like it. Without mud we should never have triumphed at Crécy or Agincourt and imagine what the implications of that would have been. We'd all be speaking French and we certainly wouldn't have custard! So mud - OK. What we do want is a bit more sunshine.

They were very moist and went within an hour at work and it was massive, a good baking tray size and very tall. The other two got passed on, and after family requests I am getting a quarter back to pass on to them:) All in all a resounding success.

But those times are gone since we live here and enjoy every moment. But you are lucky to have crocus and other signs of spring like lambs, we still wait for it, just early snowdrops showing a bit of white right now. I wonder if Chester has always been like that? Then, there is no worry ;-). But if he develops the fear of small bugs only now, I would have it looked at by the vet. I can see the picture of the ewe ramming him and his face about it...<br />I am sure you will be on top of your lovely garden this year!

I like it rather thin, like school custard, and prefer it to the thick real-vanilla-infused stuff. Is that shameful? <br /><br />Your Februaryitis is like mine, somewhat wavering - impossible to stay despondent with lambs and narcissi doing their best, isn't it?
