Hi this is ME....just home from Book Club's eats evening for end-of-term "do" - Monday 16th December 2013

A really good evening with much chatter and lovely food and some good red wine - our perfect recipe for a splendid evening.  We even discussed books for  the next term, beginning in the second of |January, when we start with Ruth by Mrs Gaskell.  We are also reading Ernest Hemingway,  Robert MacFarlane possibly a Rose Tremaine and a biography, my choice, of the John Tradescants, two of the best known gardeners and plants gatherers ever known, encompassing time both before and during the English Civil War.  Plus a few others, so a good term's reading to look forward to!

Now just before going out this evening, my computer came up with a weird message, making the dear SO think something really awful happen - gosh, I may  not  be able to do much before Christmas even, apart from using his computer (big worry there, for him, as I rather click a lot and get into trouble easily, oh dear!!!!)

So off to a computer expert tomorrow morning and fingers crossed, all could be well, without too much money to put everything right!!!

Ah ha, we had my Super Ultra Fiesta Carrot cake at our eats do and it was rather good; and we also enjoyed some smashing chocolatey squares with cream!!!

That's all for now folks and hope to talk to you again very soon.

Daisy

ps keep your fingers crossed for me, please
