Off to Old Blighty!


It's that time of the year - I'm off to England tomorrow - I just can't wait to stand in the cool mist and gentle drizzle of the English countryside. Thanks to crazy schedules, in the next three weeks there is going to be a tremendous amount of take off and landings, there's always going to be one of us in mid air over the Atlantic - an alarming thought!   I'm planning on lots of "pub grub" and perhaps squeeze in a cream tea or two (let's hope I will be able to squeeze into my jeans on return.)


I don't expect to have much computer time - or access - so I don't think there will be any more posts until early September.  I will however try to leave comments on everyone's posts when possible.

I'm hoping for tons of inspiration from wonderful British dishes I have long forgotten about.

Wishing everyone a lovely rest of the summer and see you in September!

All the very best,
Mary oxo
