Hi All,

spring must be on the way, there are lambs in the field near my allotment running around, And I keep reading the back of the seed packets. A sure sign that spring is on the way. :P

We've been seeing lambs round here since the beginning of January. :shock: Yesterday it was beautiful weather and today it is pouring down. Poor little things.

I'm afraid Cooks gravy is a little different to yours Tracie, i tried that, and all but broke my wrist. Not saying it sets solid or anything :)

If there is EVER any lamb left (2 teenage sons!!) I make a sheppards pie which is always popular with a bit of melted cheese ontop of the potato
