A quickie!!
Anyone who has been reading my twitterings will know that all our upstairs electrics were knocked out yesterday by someone who shall remain nameless! That someone was very quick to go up into the loft this morning and fix the problem (which thank goodness only turned out to be a loose screw in a connection).
You may recall yesterday that I was taking my mother out for the day, we managed to exchange a pair of trousers (pants) for a pink cardigan so she is happy. I took her to see the Bluebell Woods and then we went on to have lunch with my brother, his wife and her mother was also there. We had a lovely lunch but I ate far too much~ well it would have been fine if I had not indulged in all three of the puddings!! How can anyone resist blackberry and apple crumble, treacle pudding and fresh pineapple with custard and cream! Tell me I am a glutton and I will agree but I didn't eat anything for the rest of the day and I don't really feel hungry today.
Over lunch we started talking about relatives and my mother regaled us with some bits of family history that we knew nothing about which was very entertaining. You want to know ~ well lets just say there were several illegitimate children in the family~ and for one there is a connection to the picture below!!
I just had to stop and take a photo of this field of oilseed rape which was very colourful! We are now off to get the tortoises weighed and checked.

You can't stop there!!!
Those puddings sounds wonderful. Great picture we used to live near fields covered in rapeseed oil, nice memories :)
FATTY!! LOL.
Get the tortoises checked and weighed? I'm curious - is that like taking your dog for shots?
You've got me curious.
Illegitimate child in connection to a picture of oilseed RAPE? hmmm....maybe that isn't what you really meant.
Beautiful picture! I love hearing family stories, you never know what you'll get.

beccy i just did!!
alix we are seeing a lot more farmers growing this now!
john if it weren't so true I would be giving you a slap!!
zoomie it is a bit like that they need checking for weight and length to make sure there are no problem after hibernation. Also for any other health problems. They also have the same done in Sept to make sure they have enough fat reserves to last them through hibernation. You can gauge what the weight gain during the summer. One of mine has already been to the vet this year as we had already detected mouth rot which has been successfully treated.
karmyn you are clever!
Oilseed rape is sticky but very easy on the eye and how quickly it appears!
three puddings! Good for you! I love puddings!
Glad the electrics are sorted now!
I meant stinky.... I don't know if it's sticky... :o)
like beccy - forget looking at flours, I want to hear the dirt.
Was someone conceived in that field?
Rape!!??
Eek.
Beautiful pic. I guess you didn't my message about the Blue Bell flower. That's okay.
Have a wonderful day.
Ps. I think I would have tried all 3 pies also! They sounded good!!!
3 puds sounds good to me!
come see if you know me!
So where are your bluebell woods? You have to tell us more Chris!!
kitten I emailed you; hope you got it!

I don’t ‘Twitter’ … but I do love this field of yellow flowers! It’s glorious!!! Thanks for sharing.
Hugs and blessings,
Oh oh! The story your mother told you surely can't have any connection to the "rape" field. I fear it does. Oh my!!!
Beautiful picture!I love always to see the yellow colour on the fields!
That is a beautiful field! Sounds like you had a good lunch and it sounds like your Mum did too. :)
