Jopsy, just search the forum for LULU.

It is, sadly, Chantals porta-loo. :shock:

Peter, I just knew I could rely on you to fill Jo in on the subject of my Lulu. I read this thread earlier and then just sat back and waited... :lol: You'll be thrilled to know that I've just ordered Adam's book "Taking the Piss - a Potted History" so I'll be even better informed on the old Liquid Gold before the month is out :wink:

Chantal, I swear you were a tanner or medieval industrial chemist in a previous life. :oops:

Possible I suppose but if I believed in reincarnation I shudder to think what I'll be in the next one. :shock:

went to see the barn today
i was v excited by the 13 acres/3 horses/stream/stables; but the house/barn was miserable!
it was upsidedown and there were no views from the bedrooms
it needed finishing off and was sadly unloved!
soooooooooooo we wont be moving in-sorry OH!
it really didnt even have poptential and i tinkn i ruined my boots-i stupidly wore my red leather ones instead of wellies! :roll:
im still hoping we can buy the thatch! i even gave away 4 bin bags of clothes to charity today in eager anticipation :wink:

Dear Jopsy, don't get to down hearted, some things are just not meant to be, i prefer thatch cottages anyway, i lived in one for about twenty years, so i know how cosy they can be.
As for your very fetching red leather boots, you can always buy another pair. :wink:
Did Lily like the horses. :?:
I'll try and put an old photgraph of where i used to live on here.
Keep your spirits up, i know what you young ladies are like when you get something in your heads. :wink:
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

Dear Jopsy on the first picture that comes up, it is the cottage opposite the red lion, and no it's not me crossing the road. :wink:
Then click on the post office.
I now live up the other end of the village near the churh.

oooh, Herby, you lucky barsteward

What a beautiful place to live. It's wonderful.

I feel sad now. I want to live in a place like that, not where I am. It's horrible.

That looks so beautiful. A chocolate box looking village.

So, how would you feel about me and a very hung over Grock (yep, she's feeling very delicate this evening. Even her teeth feel as though they're swimming) camping in your garden with 5 kids, 2 other halfs, 2 dogs and a cat?

Would tomorrow afternoon suit? :twisted:
Lots of love

Lizzie

It is a lovely village, and i do really love it, but there is one thing that must spoil it for everyone,
And thats Me. :shock: :D :wink:
I really am trying to become one of those village characters that no one ever forgets. :twisted:

Whats the young Grock been upto then Lizzie, she sounds as if she's been partaking of the waters in a big way.
You are more than welcome to come visiting, if you can make it in June, that will be nice, as i won't be here, :shock: :D :wink: i'm of to Wales looking for a certain bridge. :wink:
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

Cheeky Herby

The Grockster went to visit a relative and apparently rolled in (literally) at 3am. She was singing a lovely old ballad about a ship called Venus.

I don't know it myself, being of a sweet and innocent nature. According to her husband, she feels as rough as a sumo wrestlers armpit tonight :twisted:
Lots of love
