I’m going to see him early next year and I’m so bloody excited- I’ve loved him since I was 15 (so over 20 years nowI also bought the Adam Buxton audiobook last month and it’s fabulous. He’s so likeable, and puts so much effort into things like the extra rambles and jingles.
I used this one, but omitted the orange and used lemon juice only and slightly less sugar.Do you have a recipe for this? It looks delicious and elderflower cordially is my FANCY daughter’s favourite!
@crystaleyesd let us know how that new Russian book is, I’m intrigued! Just about to settle into bed and start Foe, I’m ridiculously excited
my boyfriend and I went for an impromptu meal on the seafront today, do not recommend eating a whole crab while wearing a white dress...
I use Hugh’s (naughty Hugh) recipe for elderflower cordial as well. It’s the best!I used this one, but omitted the orange and used lemon juice only and slightly less sugar.
It was really lovely, I used some of the cordial in a gooseberry and elderflower jam too.Elderflower cordial
The sweetly scented, creamy-white flowers of the elder tree appear in abundance in hedgerows, scrub, woodlands and wasteland at the beginning of summer. The fresh flowers make a terrific aromatic cordial. They are best gathered just as the many tiny buds are beginning to open, and some are still...www.rivercottage.net
Also made rhubarb cordial after this, very pretty colour but didn't match the elderflower on taste.
I’m not too far into it as I’m terrible for sticking to a book but I’d definitely recommend it & thank you god bless the Disney StoreI have this book on my to read list, it sounds really interesting. Love your NBC blanket too
The cafe area in my local Waitrose has been cleared and they use the space for the customer ordersLots of things to respond to but starting with this!
Big hugs @SoulRebel — didn’t realise it was the same daughter with the beautiful baby. How hideous for you all, especially after every thing she’s been through over the past few months. Shock will pass, she’s moved on and has gorgeous new family to think about.
I LOVED Queenie — I heard CCW On Radio 6 recently talking about what she was doing now, including a screen play of Queenie! V excited by that!!
My kids “bought” the Richard Osman book for my dad for his birthday — will relieve him if it next time I can visit (shakes fist at COVID in futility)
I have not seen @Sausage Grand Station, nor @PineappleQueen19 for a LONG time— hope they’re both ok!
Friend who works in Waitrose says she doesn’t think the coffee will be back this side of Christmas. They’re also unsure what to do with their cafe area, as that’s a big wasted space these days.
I PMSL every time I see the Alan Partridge Alexa ad and think fondly of @Alansbigplate.
I also bought the Adam Buxton audiobook last month and it’s fabulous. He’s so likeable, and puts so much effort into things like the extra rambles and jingles. I think I only managed it because I was travelling alone and could just sit in the airport with earphones in, waiting and waiting, but completely agree with all Fraus reporting attention span issues. I’m having BIG troubles with this, I normally read a few books every week, but have only
read 3 novels since March— but I do have lots going on (mental health issues arising with kids, ill parents, job, own health, money, before even thinking about lockdown and pandemics). Life is shit in so many ways at the moment, but for everyone — it’s not like any of us are suffering on our own here... feeling a bit maudlin, so just going to say Love You Fraus, you do all make me laugh. And think, but also laugh x
I’ve thought the same thing about RosieI’m going to see him early next year and I’m so bloody excited- I’ve loved him since I was 15 (so over 20 years now) and never managed to get babysitters/time off work/tickets to go to anything of his before, husband tried so hard to get us to Bug.
I know this is silly of me but I’ve recently been worried for him if anything happens to Rosie, I know I’ve got my own shit going on but this keeps going round my head!
Oh let’s not even got there, I can’t bear the thought of it. Sending Rosie healthy happy vibesI’ve thought the same thing about Rosie
I know, it’s my new ‘first 15 minutes of Up’ when I need to have a cry but can’t quite get there- I’d become a bit anaesthetised to Up but this gets me every time just nowI was sobbing listening to him talk to Joe about his Mum dying
The Up opener still finishes me every time. As soon as they start gazing at the clouds, I’m in tearsI know, it’s my new ‘first 15 minutes of Up’ when I need to have a cry but can’t quite get there- I’d become a bit anaesthetised to Up but this gets me every time just now

Oh god I can’t bring myself to watch that scene as it’s TOO heartbreaking. I do sometimes listen to the song when I need a proper sob.Mine’s Dumbo and his Mum entwining their trunks through the bars.
I’m the same. Even the John Lewis Christmas ads make me cry! That scene with Bing Bong is so brutal. I took my nephews to watch Inside Out at the cinema and they were looking at me with bemusement while I wept through that sceneI cry at everything, I'm pathetic. We recently watched Paddington 2 (for about the 10th time) and I was in pieces by the end.
The other one that gets me every time is Inside Out, particularly when Bing Bong sacrifices himself. The first time I watched it, the moment I realised what he was going to do I felt sick. I've got a sinking feeling just thinking about it.
Oh Gawd‘first 15 minutes of Up’
