The happy Place Café is still open - 2024

Morning.

I'm just starting this before the last one fills up.

Morning.

Well it's been quiet in here recently so I'll get Florence to make cinnamon rolls and danish pastries but I won't make a breakfast as such so I'm making a beef stew in the slow cooker for anyone coming in later.

I'll make dumplings but put them in the fridge so you will have to pop a couple in the slow cooker for 20 mins on so.

Fernando is selecting some red wine to go with the stew (other alcohol on request).

Hello everyone!
I've had a hell of a trip (will update at a more godly hour!) and really looking forward to flying home tomorrow, not sure my boys are though! Flight is at 11! When I get home I'm going straight to bed and staying there until I've decompressed!!
What's the news then everyone?
@sashh cup of tea for me please x

Ooh! Pastries! I need all of the energy I can get. Am office bound in 2 hours after no sleep due to 4 year old kicking (is scared for her room ATM for some reason)

Tea and pastries all round.

Oooh more pastries, yes please .
There was a bag of almond flakes on the worktop , Leo swiped them I think he is feeding the ducks and goats

Morning.

Well it's chilly today so hot drinks are in order, obviously tea and coffee but herbal tea, hot chocolate, vimto, horlicks, ovaltine and bovril.

I've put the outside heater on so I think toasties / jaffles will be easy to eat if you have gloves on.

Morning all,

@sashh can I have a cheese and pickle toastie and a hot bovril.
It's damp here so I have got us some water proof blankets and hot water bottles .
@Flubadubba I hope you and your DD got a better night's sleep last night.

Cheese and pickle toasty on its way. Thank you for the blankets, very useful.

😋

Ha! We are now on week 12 of her commandeering our (super king) bed to sleep horizontally. Couldn't use the spare bed this week as my mum was using it (half term childcare!). Thanks for asking- hope you're well!

Morning.

@Flubadubba if you open the door at the back there is a really comfy sofa bed if you want to nap.

I think we need a sweet breakfast so Churros and hot chocolate.Florence is making mini lemon drizzle cakes and Fernando has some baileys.

Thats sounds rather indulgent , and I am all for it.
Hot chocolate and churros please @sashh and if Fernando has any tia Maria lurking a drop of that would be nice .

Morning.

Well today I'm making bacon with tomatoes. It looks like a sort of soup but is ideal for a cold morning.

Florence is making sticky toffee pudding and Fernando is trying to make tia maria cocktails but Lepo is attempting to 'help' which I think involves getting the goats drunk.

@Tilllly are you sure you can't take him back?

@sashh , that sounds good can i have a bit of mature cheddar grated on the top.

And of course I am up for a tia maria cocktail but can you ask Fernando to stop Leo from dipping his banana in it .

Morning.

It's looking like we will have a brighter couple of days so I'll get the outdoor heating on and set up a BBQ so sausages, burgers, german wursts of various types, cumberland sausage and pork kebabs with assorted bread rolls.

Florence is teaching Leo to make banana bread - I'm not sure whether I want to sample that - and Fernando is making rum punch.

Morning.

OK so cold left over sausages it is.

Morning @sashh
It's awfully quiet around here isn't it.
I will give a few people a shout and put the kettle on

Ah hello @ScottBakula thank you for thinking of me!

I'm alive and well, but for some reason my insomnia seems to have settled for a while so I'm less awake in the middle of the night! No doubt it'll soon be too hot, and too light, and I'll be back!

Hope you're all ok!

Hi @TokyoSushi , I am glad you are able to sleep well, I have just come off shifts that meant I had to be up at 4am . My body doesn't know which way is up at the moment !

I’m here! Been sleeping a lot better of late and also trying to read kindle books when I do wake but have missed your excellent catering !

Hi @Polkadothandkerchief , good to see you , I am glad you have been sleeping well too. Next time you are awake and reading can you go to the petting zoo and read to the goats , it helps settle them,

Haaaay. Im also here
I havent been sleeping untill about 7am
I always forget to post on here .

Hope everyone is ok

Iv been watching ASMR video’s on Youtube.
They are slightly helping
I like the light ones

Hello @ScottBakula . I’ve been trying to ignore the fact I regularly wake up at 4am. I have also been in Avignon which was very pretty.

Thanks @ScottBakula I was in A and E today as I have broken several ribs falling off a boat. I haven’t been sleeping much as a result.
I’m worried about @Tilllly as she is in the Hospice having breathing problems. I’m sure she will drop in if she is able to. Sending love to our Princess.
