Don't worry, I think your recipe sounds divine! Can't wait to try it out.

It's all a bit strange isn't it that all these different Anon's only seem to post on the same subject. Which is funny when there are so many other topics to choose from on here. Oh well, each to their own.

Other than Dawlish (of course!), what's your favourite holiday destination in the UK. For me, it's the Isle of Barra - one of the islands that form the Outer Hebrides in Scotland. Magnificent isolation, wildlife watching, the best beaches in the UK bar none, and if you go by plane (a 12-seater) you land on the cockle strand! Oh, and they know how to serve whiskey there! Where do you recommend?

I bet that's not all you can only do with one finger! LOLOL

New Zealand seems to be a good souce of fresh whites and roses right now. Tesco's has plenty to offer online.

What's everyones favourite European holiday destination? Mine is the villa we stay in that's just outside Puerto Pollensa on the island of Mallorca. A beautiful place near a beautiful town on a beautiful island. What about you?

We did, last Tuesday. What about you?

I've got to say that's an interesting choice. However, I've found the lyrics on t'internet: Bring me sunshine in your smile Bring me laughter all the while In this world where we live There should be more happiness So much joy you can give To each brand new bright tomorrow Make me happy through the years Never bring me any tears Let your arms be as warm as the sun from up above Bring me fun, bring ...

Last dinner party I did was: No starters, but crostini with drinks. 2 different toppings, Tuscan chicken liver and pea and parmesan. Main - polpettine (Italian pork, lemon and parmesan meatbally things), potatoes cooked in stock in the oven and a broad bean, french bean and courgette salad. Pudding - custard tart and/or lemon tart. Yummy, just typing that out makes me feel v. hungry! Let us know ...

What I tend to do is pick the sloes, put them in the freezer (this helps to break down the fruit a little and does not necessitate having to prick each sloe with a needle). I then put the sloes into a litre preserving jar or larger depending on what size bottle of gin am using (a litre bottle of gin you will need the next size up preserving jar) pour on the gin, put a small amount of sugar in say ...

Have you been there many times? Did you enjoy Ramsey's?

LOL! Not really an advert as such, but I also quite like the BBC's "Monkey"-type Olympics trails, as a change from slo-mo silhouettes with torches; but the caterwauling Chinese chanteuse will become an irritant if she is kept on throughout the Game!!

Not looking good for the rest of the week either. Weekend looks a bit more promising though.

I'been trying to listen to music on youtube but every 3 or 4 seconds it pauses whilst it buffers. Why does it keep doing this? Is there something I can do to rectify it? It doesn't happen all the time but when it does it annoys the heck out of me. Is there a techie out there that can help me please?

Who can beat a walk along the Dawlish front on a beautiful sunny day? However my favourite walk is around Lake Windermere, whatever the weather! What about you?

Thanks for the heads up, I'm going to join up and see what I can sell. Sounds like fun!

I've got some lamb loin steaks, how should I cook them? Thanks in advance.

We have one living behind each wing mirror on both of our cars! And, yes - I've seen them repairing their webs at 60mph, too.

The new football season is almost upon us - who do you reckon will win the four divisions? Premier - Chelsea Championship - Birmingham League 1 - Leicester League 2 - Lincoln What are your predictions?

I'd definitely not use the f-word in front of kids! No matter how many points it's worth.

King Edwards are perfect for growing buckets! Good call. I'm a bit disappointed in my red onions this year, I don't know what I've done wrong. Any ideas on what I should do to improve the size of them for next year?

I'm thinking of buying my mother a solar powered water feature for her garden, but are they any good? I don't want to be spending our money on something that only works when its had 12 hours of continuous sunshine. Oh, and has anybody used one of these solar-on-demand things which work by storing up solar power in a main battery unit?
