Had a lovely '5km Santa Fun Run' today - there must have been hundreds of us, very confusing for all the children on the route round town. My daughter and I did it as a 'power walk' in about 45 minutes (it did include quite a few ups as well as downs), and the sun shone and lots of people contributed to charity.

And now it's snowing hard!

I sent my potato order off the other day, am trying JBA seed potato suppliers this year, he was the fellow that was on the forum a while back.

Dear Monika, you deserve a big hug for doing the run and supporting the charity.

I think yourself and eveyone else that give their time for charities are the real people of this world.
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

I'm in trouble with cook.
We just had a game of eye-spy, something we haven't done for years, everything was going well until it was cook's turn, and it was something begining with, D, i said dust, probably not one of my best answers. :)
