Morning all, well the cafe thread is just about full so here's the new thread.

Just a reminder Florence has made pastries over night, the garden is open with the sensory garden, the cat area (with catnip bush) is available and feel free to cool your feet int the water feature.

@sashh I didn't know that!
@PinkDaydreams ah that's a shame but the roads are definitely so much busier.
I'm happy to drive but don't particularly like motorways as they're boring. Regularly before lockdown used tomdribe to scotland/wales/down south for holidays and I'm the only driver dh doesn't drive. Only concession is that if I say we need to break the journey for a night we do it no arguments

sashh · 04/07/2020 04:46

Morning all!
Ooo I’ll have some eggy bread please with a dollop of brown sauce and a steaming hot mug of tea Grin any plans today? Is anyone going to a pub/restaurant/cafe or even to have their hair done?! Personally I’m avoiding pubs etc, I think they’re going to be so busy.

PinkDaydreams · 04/07/2020 08:30

I forgot the playgrounds are meant to be open again! There’s two nearby so I’ll go have a look this morning and if any of them are quiet my little one can have a play!

Dancingtomusic · 04/07/2020 11:27

Morning sashh, glad you are feeling better.
Coddled toast and eggs for me pls.
My cat will have jumped onto your lap for a cuddle and gives out lovely get well vibes.

Mog- hope you have a good day at work. Lovely picture of the sea.

Pinky- i plan to stay at home as i think it will be busy too. Hope your little one gets to use the park.

Morning all.

The swelling is still here but on its way down.

So time for a proper fry up, and as people come from all parts of the UK and beyond this will have options for bubble and squeak, square sausage, oat cakes, potato cakes and farls.

Morning @sashh Grin
Oh my goodness, square sausage and bubble and squeak please! Delicious!
How are you feeling today?

mogloveseggs · 05/07/2020 08:35

Morning how are you feeling @sashh
Ooh square sausage please!
What's a coddled egg?

PinkDaydreams · 05/07/2020 09:29

@mogloveseggs I’m so glad you’ve asked as I also don’t know what a coddled egg is!!Confused

PinkDaydreams · 05/07/2020 09:36

From googling it looks like a coddled egg is similar to a poached egg.

NoGravyForYou · 05/07/2020 10:15

Bubble and squeak 😍 @sashh you're a gem!!!

sashh · 06/07/2020 03:57

Morning all.

LOL what is it with the lack of egg cooking knowledge? The last time it was convent eggs.

So I'm going to blow your minds with souffle omelettes, fillings of cheese, smoked salmon and creamy mushrooms.

Morning @sashh Smile

An omelette is perfect, thank you! Another windy day here today, feel rather tired as it kept waking me up throughout the night.

Dancingtomusic · 06/07/2020 10:03

Morning sashh, I would love a souffle omelette it sounds amazing

mogloveseggs · 06/07/2020 10:42

@PinkDaydreams like a poached egg? I'm off to have a look

mogloveseggs · 06/07/2020 10:42

@sashh convent egg? Are you sure? Never heard of that either!

NoGravyForYou · 06/07/2020 13:17

Hello all! Hope everyone is well. How are you feeling @sashh

I have had to accept that I can no longer eat bread in real life, so I'm just popping in here to have a virtual cheese on toast 😍 Anyone else want some while I have the grill on?

sashh · 07/07/2020 07:05

Morning all.

OK I'm expanding the eggs, I'm now making French toast, egg in a basket, cloud eggs on toast, Japanese rolled omelette (yes IRL I have a square omelette pan) and baked in avocado.

Florence has made a selection of breads to toast, dip in the eggs, or for the eggs to sit on.

Haha guess not Grin

crazycatlady7 · 08/07/2020 04:30

Morning all,

Been a while since I popped in. How are you all? Are the eggs still available? One of my chickens died last week and my other ladies have gone on strike! So had to get eggs from my cousins ladies... we eat a lot of eggs here.

I'm currently sat rocking baby for 2nd time tonight- but he slept in his bed... last few weeks it's been in bed with me and lots of wakings... so huge improvement. Happy to hand him over so I can have a break from rocking
