The one and only Tearoom, to be sure , it is.

[UniS]

To pinch an intro from the very first one and only tea room thread. in 2009.

The tea room is now officially open, serving hot chocolate, tea, freshly-squeezed orange juice and a range of home-baked muffins. Tablecloths and crockery are charmingly mismatched antiques (no Cath Kidston here). We overlook an attractive although somewhat overgrown garden, with a distant view of rolling countryside.

Everyone is welcome but house rules dictate that anyone indulging in fisticuffs will be ejected.

Please come in.

We seem to have fetched up in Ireland, this place looks remarkably like a pub,There is even a guiness barrel over there. The NMBs are all sporting shamrocks. The mirror ball is here, but I leave teh rest of the unpacking to someone else.

Good morning, tearoomers! Today we have carrots on toast, and for mid morning, carrot cake, then carrot soup for lunch.

Good morning! ?

LCT has spent the morning emptying laundry baskets of clean laundry I am about to fold so he can sit in the basket.

::tackles Amber to the ground::

Quick! Donki! Get your carrots!!!!

Can I please ask you ladies to vote on for OC Support?. You'll need to register in order to vote, but it won't commit you to anything.

It would fund the helpline for 18 months if they were to win. I had OC during both of my pregnancies, and the helpline was a lifeline!

Mary - I have voted for your charity. I had never come across that website and found my 'preferred' charity on it so I can also raise some money for them!

Thanks :). Votes are currently tied at the top, on 78 each, its a shame they can't split it!

Blimey, that was a very complicated voting thing - threw me out the first four times, but finally voted.

Voted Mary. I agree with Amber, it wasn't easy to register or vote!

Thanks, everyone seems to be having problems voting straight after registering! I did the first time I tried!

Sorry about the mess

...but somebody stole my carrots... and I thought they were buried under the huge hay pile.

Amber
You only needed to ask if you wanted carrots for cooking dear. Then I could have gone and got some more!

Now the carrot shop is shut for the evening.....

Phew!
Saved again. Thankyou Mary

Sorry , I did borrow a couple of carrots too... Unis shamefacedly returns to teh tea room. I needed them for a curry. Would you like some? it has carrots in... and home grown courgettes. It seems like a reasonable way of using and freezing courgettes as we are a bit bored of eating them now.

Had to walk through town this evening with boy clutching a VERY large trophy cup proudly and waving it at people. Just picked it up from engravers and had an hour to kill till DH picked us up after work.

DH is trying to work out the descant for a christmas carol on the piano. but I can;t remember it either

You know I was panicking about having forgotten something.

Well, I hadn't exactly forgotten this.
Yesterday I was trying to change my in flight meals to wheat and dairy free - and when I logged in to manage the account, BA was claiming not to have all the advance passenger information which had to be in 72hours before the flight was due to leave..... for US security purposes.

Aaaargh!

I had to put it all in when I booked the tickets in February (before I was a wheat free Donki). What happened to it?
It was only luck that I looked at the website - I already had all the flight details. What would have happened if I hadn't seen it? They hadn't contacted me at all....

flippin' eck Donki - that was a lucky escape! Did you tick for them to save your details last time?

Sorry, carrots snuck away from pile here as well

Scout - thoughts and prayers for your NanIL - I hope her passing is quiet and peaceful for everyone's sakes.
And yay for the American trip looking good!

Mary - will go and look at that if voting is still open.

UniS - hurrah for the big cup!

Which Christmas Carol? I know a good few of them.

Insomnia sucks.

Toddler seems to have a case of it as well.

Me too Scout. Hope you're asleep now...

Morning all! Mellors, do lend a hand to Donki, will you? I think she may need an extra-special Strong Brew this morning, too? Anyone else for one whilst we're preparing breakfast?

A strong brew would be good please, one that you can stand your teaspoon up in (so long as the tsp thief isn't still here!)

::hands around strong for all::

Ladies, it's almost time to move the Tea Room. Where shall we go?!

leave a trail of bread crumbs.... I'll be back after teh weekend. Or maybe before if teh promised WiFi works.

Have we been to Turkey? It was on the news this morning, much cheaper than other EU countries, and we could experience the Pamukkale thermal waters/hot springs?

Yes, breadcrumbs needed I'm off to the depths of deep, dark Norfolk tomorrow with a herd of Seniors/Guides. ACK! Insomnia all around it seems one Guider was sending emails up to 1:30, I was between 2:30 & 4:30 (though didn't fall asleep until after 5) and the third was sending emails starting at 6:15. ACK.

Good Luck Scout !

Action packed few days ahead in the Cmot house - ds and I are off to a waterpark today, then the Gamefair on Sunday, then off camping on Monday
